The Nova Scotia government twice refused to pay for a special RCMP team established to respond to the public inquiry into the mass shootings that killed 22 people in April 2020, newly released documents show.
CBC News obtained correspondence between Mark Furey, who was the province s justice minister at the time, and Assistant Commissioner Lee Bergerman, the commanding officer of the RCMP in Nova Scotia, through freedom of information laws.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shared remarks through a pre-recorded statement, saying he wished he could have attended the service. Even a year later, I know there is no comfort for the anguish of having an adored parent or precious child torn away, he said, standing in front of a row of Canadian flags. So all I can say is this: You are not alone. All Canadians stand with you and grieve with you.
The prime minister described one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history as an act of evil that should not define the memories of those lost on April 18 and 19, 2020.
