Mass Casualty Commission inquiry puts RCMP in the hot seat

Guest: Steve McKinley, Atlantic correspondent

After two and a half years and more than $20 million, the Mass Casualty Commission inquiry has released its final report, looking back on the worst mass shooting in Canadian history. The 130 recommendations within envision a full overhaul of Canada’s national police force, a strengthening of gun control laws, and more attention to preventing gender-based and domestic violence. Steve McKinley, the Star’s Atlantic correspondent, joins “This Matters” to talk about RCMP failures and inadequacies surrounding the massacre that left 22 victims dead in Nova Scotia three years ago.
