The Mass Casualty Commission #MCC has provided a detailed schedule of proceedings for the next 2 weeks...

I'm told that *each* of Lisa Banfield's five interviews with #MCC investigators is "multi-hours." I asked for as early access as is possible to the transcripts of those interviews in preparation for her oral testimony on Friday, July 15.

The schedule is as follows:
July 11 — Foundational document: Violence in the Perpetrator’s Family of Origin
July 12 — Foundational document: Perpetrator’s Violence Towards Others
Witness: Brenda Forbes

July 13 — Foundational document: Perpetrator’s Violence Towards Common Law Spouse
July 14 — Roundtable discussions on the psychology of perpetrators of mass casualty events and the demographics of such events

July 15— Witness: Lisa Banfield

July 18 — roundtables on intimate partner violence (IPV) and gender-based violence GBV) with regards to mass casualty events
July 19 — Foundational document: Perpetrator’s financial misdealings

July 20 — IPV and GBV with regards to policing
July 21 — testimony about personal and community responses to violence

July 22 — an analysis of the RCMP’s “psychological autopsy” of the killer. I'm very interested in this, as I suspect there's a lot of junk science involved in this stuff.

There will be other witnesses throughout the 2 weeks, as needed. A lot of academics from around the world.

Commission staff repeatedly warned that the documents, transcripts, and witness testimony around violence will be very difficult

Asked directly if one day testimony was enough for Lisa Banfield, commission lawyer Emily Hill said the transcripts of her 5 interviews will detail much information, and once we read them we will understand why 1 day is enough.
