The day after the shooting of a soldier in Ottawa at the National War Memorial and the shooting of the gunman in Canada’s Parliament buildings, Members of Parliament were back in the House of Commons on Thursday (October 23), after first paying tribute to the soldier at the War Memorial where Wednesday’s events started.
There are still many questions about the incident, and also about one two days earlier in which a man drove into two Canadian military members killing one.
After the remembrance ceremony at the War Memorial, parliamentarians thanked security staff, and resumed the order of business.
It was in the House of Commons Question Period that some of the security and democracy issues raised by the two incidents became part of an exchange between the opposition parties and the government.
