The public inquiry that investigated the April 2020 mass murder of 22 people in Nova Scotia released its final report on Thursday in Truro, N.S., after more than six months since the Mass Casualty Commission concluded its public proceedings.

The federal-provincial inquiry examined the events surrounding the 13-hour rampage that began in the community of Portapique and ended when the RCMP gunned down the 51-year-old killer at a gas station about 55 kilometres south.

Mass Casualty Commission commissioner Leanne Fitch spoke Thursday about some of the findings of the inquiry saying "there were failures" by RCMP. She said in addition to failures in communication during and in the aftermath of the tragedy, she said there were also "many warning signs of the perpetrator's violence" and "missed opportunities" to intervene before the shooting.

Chair Michael MacDonald outlined some of the 130 recommendations made in the report, including a call for "major changes" to RCMP oversight, a process to rethink the structure of policing in Nova Scotia, and national review of public alerting.

The public inquiry’s mandate included examinations of the police response, the killer’s access to firearms, gender-based violence, the assistance offered to those most affected, and the steps taken to inform the public as the rampage unfolded.
