Man at centre of hazardous materials probe never employed at clinic: company

A company linked to the wife of a man at the centre of an investigation into hazardous materials and the evacuation of two areas in Halifax says it has never employed him.

Dr. Adam Blackman, president of MedSleep, issued a statement early on Thursday to say that Christopher Phillips does not work for its network of sleep disorder clinics.

The brief statement says Phillips’s wife, Dr. Gosia Phillips, is the medical director of MedSleep Atlantic that has one clinic in Dartmouth, N.S.

Christopher Phillips’s LinkedIn profile lists him as the manager of Neurology and Sleep Medicine Associates Inc. in the Halifax area.

Ottawa police arrested Phillips at a hotel Wednesday as part of an investigation linked to the evacuations in Halifax where police found a large quantity of dangerous chemicals.

Police say they found no hazardous materials in the Ottawa hotel, but have provided no answers on what the materials might have been used for or what was seized.

RCMP Cpl. Greg Church says one of the two evacuations that were ordered Tuesday remained in effect in the Grand Desert area of Halifax because a “large quantity of chemicals” were found inside a cottage.
