Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Thursday accused the commission that investigated the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting of ignoring both the victims of the crime and the details surrounding illegally smuggled firearms used by the shooter.

“The commission is really an outrage, the way they ignored the victims of the crime that happened,” Poilievre said during a press conference late Thursday.
