The former head of the New Brunswick Energy Insitute Louis LaPierre being stripped of his Order of Canada.
LaPierre, who had been a University of Moncton professor for more than 30 years, resigned from the institute last fall after it was revealed he misrepresented his academic credentials.
The insitute was created by the Alward Government to be an independant body that provides them with scientific research on proposed energy projects.
