The head of Nova Scotia’s Emergency Management Office says he found it surprising the RCMP waited so long to issue a provincewide alert about a gunman who killed 22 people during a 13-hour rampage in April 2020.
The inquiry investigating the tragedy released documents Tuesday that include a recent interview with the EMO’s executive director, Paul Mason, who confirmed for the first time that the Mounties hadn’t considered using the Alert Ready system until his organization suggested it.
