The Mountie in charge of the RCMP’s initial response to the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia is expected to testify before an inquiry Monday, but the public will be barred from listening.

For unspecified health reasons, Staff Sgt. Brian Rehill has been granted permission to testify via a Zoom call, which will be recorded and released to the public at a later date.
