Nova Scotia mass shooting inquiry: Advice given to witness worries former judgeHALIFAX — A former Supreme Court of Canada judge working with the inquiry into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting says he's worried the federal Justice Department has been discouraging witnesses from being forthcoming with relevant evidence. In an Aug. 5 letter to the department, released late Monday by the inquiry, commission counsel director Thomas Cromwell cites advice the department gave Nova Scotia RCMP Chief Supt. The former judge asked for assurances from the department that this sort of advice has not and will not be given to other witnesses.

Meeting notes taken by another Nova Scotia Mountie, Supt.
