HALIFAX—The commission of inquiry probing the mass shooting in Nova Scotia that claimed 22 lives in 2020 is again delaying public hearings, saying they are now expected to begin late next month.

The commission’s website says the public sessions will begin on Feb. 22, rather than Jan. 25—which was a date set after an October start was delayed due to large volumes of materials the commission staff were reviewing.
