HALIFAX – The committee tasked with tracking government and police progress implementing recommendations from the inquiry into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting has released its third and final annual report.
Committee chair Myra Freeman says more work needs to be done to address recommendations on gender-based violence, police reform and community safety.
The provincial inquiry known as the Mass Casualty Commission filed a 3,000-page report with 130 non-binding recommendations in March 2023, about half of which focus on policing.
The release of the oversight committee’s report today marks the end of the group’s three-year mandate to monitor this work.
Freeman says some members of the committee, which includes relatives of the victims, believe the mandate should be extended.
She says many of the recommendations are complex and require long-term responses that go well beyond the committee’s three-year term.
With the mandate complete, Freeman says it’s up to the RCMP and the governments of Nova Scotia and Canada to ensure that work continues on these files.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 31, 2026.
