The member of parliament for Cumberland-Colchester says she wasn't consulted by the federal or provincial governments before last week's announcement of an independent review of April's mass shooting — despite submitting multiple requests for a public inquiry. Lenore Zann, the MP for Cumberland-Colchester, said Monday she was upset she wasn't consulted since she has been requesting a public inquiry since May. Most of the families of the victims live here and they are really actually outraged and they are demanding a public inquiry." People hold signs during a rally in Victoria Park in Halifax on July 27, 2020, calling for a public inquiry into the Portapique mass killing. Zann said although she welcomes the independent review, she still hasn't stopped advocating for a public inquiry.
