On the first day of the Mass Casualty Commission hearings, people were assured this won't be a cover up for the RCMP or government. And on day 25, there are still concerns of openness and transparency. The latest criticisms come from a decision to have two senior RCMP leaders testify remotely, without there being any cross examination by lawyers representing the families of the victims. That prompted a boycott of the proceedings by some of those families and their legal team. And there is still a big question hanging over the entire process. Will we learn the truth about what happened? Wayne MacKay is a Professor Emeritus at the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University. He is concerned with the overall feelings of distrust and mistrust when it comes to some of the way the process has been handled. He weighs in on the cost of the Inquiry so far and on the potential for a meaningful outcome. MacKay also says there's still time for the commission to address the "elephant in the room".
