The Mass Casualty Commission is on a break until after the Victoria Day weekend. There have been fewer than 30 witnesses called so far and that has frustrated some of the lawyers representing the families of the 22 victims. And the "trauma informed lens" the committee has been using has also come under criticism. Parker Donham has been a journalist in Nova Scotia for years who now blogs at Contrarian.ca and on his social media accounts. He's been one of the loudest critics of the way the process has censored some of the more graphic details under the guise of being sensitive to the families. He says this is doing a disservice to the ultimate goals of an inquiry to uncover the truth and when 22 people have been killed, there's bound to be details that will make people uncomfortable. He covered much of the Marshall Inquiry in the late 1980's and says the two were vastly different, and that's not a compliment. Even so, he's still hoping the Commissioners keep listening to their critics and adapt their process to help the families.
