A public inquiry has found widespread failures in how Canada’s federal police force responded to the country’s worst mass shooting and recommends that the government rethink the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s (RCMP) central role in the country’s policing.

In a seven-volume report released on Thursday, the Mass Casualty Commission also said the Mounties missed red flags in the years leading up to the Nova Scotia rampage that resulted in 22 people being killed in April 2020 by a denture maker disguised as a RCMP officer and driving a replica police vehicle.
