Dartmouth—Cole Harbour,
I’ve heard from and spoken with many of you regarding the recent announcement of a joint-review into the April 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting. I recognize that many Nova Scotians, including the victims’ families, are concerned about the authority and scope of this review, versus a Public Inquiry.
Although I am pleased that both the Government of Canada and the Government of Nova Scotia agreed to review the tragedy and subsequent response, I want you to know that I’ve been advocating for a Public Inquiry.
I believe that the decision to move forward with a joint-review was made with good intentions; however, the gravity of this tragedy demands a greater response. 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.
Best,
