The RCMP were 'careless and calculated' in their decision to charge the partner of the Nova Scotia mass shooter through an investigation where police deceived her and violated her rights, her lawyer says.
However, an interview Banfield gave to RCMP soon after the shooting on April 28, 2020, is labelled a "cautioned" statement. Cautions are delivered by police when they are questioning someone suspected of a crime, to make sure their answers are admissible in court.Zita said the dynamics of gender-based and domestic violence lie at the core of the mass shooting.
Erin Breen, representing Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund , Avalon Sexual Assault Centre and Women’s Wellness Within, addresses the Mass Casualty Commission inquiry into the mass murders in rural Nova Scotia on April 18/19, 2020, in Truro, N.S., on Thursday, Sept. 22, 2022. "It is therefore at our own peril that we as a society cling to uninformed biases and stereotypes to dismiss gender-based violence as a private matter that does not affect us personally," Breen said.
Citing various documents already released through the commission or some yet to be tabled, Breen said the gunman's Nexus application to the Canadian Border Services Agency in March 2015 was approved without the border service having the full picture.
