BREAKING: The federal government says there will be a full public inquiry into the mass shooting in Nova Scotia
Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair said the government will “work diligently with all those affected by this tragedy to bring forward the critical answers, and to ensure an event such as this will never happen again.
Tabled by Independent Sen. Kim Pate — a longtime advocate for women and girls in the Canadian justice system — the formal question requests the government answer for the decision. “I’ve made my voice heard on this issue to our government’s decision-makers on this file, and I remain hopeful that greater authority will be given to this matter, with the ultimate goal being the announcement of a public inquiry,” Fisher said.
