As the third anniversary of the Nova Scotia mass shooting approaches, Tammy Oliver-McCurdie is preparing for a simple ritual to remind her of the loved ones she lost.
The inquiry also looked into what happened before and after the murders to determine how to prevent a similar tragedy.
"In the shadow of the worst mass casualty in modern Canadian history, it would be tragic if we didn't see meaningful reform the kind of culture that the RCMP is going to require as we move into a different era of policing," says Cal Corley, a former assistant commissioner of the RCMP.The Mass Casualty Commission spent two-and-a-half years investigating the tragedy.
And if history is a guide, says Corley, it is unlikely that much will change. He is CEO of the Community Safety Knowledge Alliance, a non-profit agency that supports governments, police and others in developing new approaches to community safety and well-being. But the RCMP has dodged that kind of body before, Corley says, citing a 2007 task force on rebuilding trust in the RCMP. It recommended creation of a so-called implementation council. The task force made 48 other recommendations aimed at changing the culture of the RCMP, but most of those ideas went nowhere, Corley says.
"It's not going to be realized," Schneider said, pointing to the federal Liberal government's decision in February to back away from a similar proposal. Parliament, however, is still debating the gun-control legislation introduced last May by the Liberals, which has sparked opposition from gun groups.
