Ottawa, Ontario
The governments of Canada and Nova Scotia continue to make progress towards meeting the recommendations set out in the Mass Casualty Commission's Final Report, and to ensure the senseless tragedy never happens again.
Today, the federal Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Nova Scotia Attorney General and Minister of Justice, the Honourable Brad Johns, and Linda Lee Oland, Founding Chair of the Progress Monitoring Committee (PMC) released the Committee's Terms of Reference.
The Commission's final report called on the two governments to establish an independent body to monitor the progress of both governments as they assume the responsibility of advancing the recommendations of the report. The PMC will play this critical role and support engagement and transparency as Canada, Nova Scotia and other partners continue to advance in implementing the Commission's key findings.
The Terms of Reference will guide the work of the PMC, including to develop a plan to monitor and periodically publicly report on the initiatives that Canada and Nova Scotia are undertaken in response to the MCC report.
Both governments continue to work with the Founding Chair to appoint members by September 1, 2023.
