It highlights the chaotic response of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) who arrived at the scene during the killings. Despite a few officers showing bravery, the response was criticized for its lack of effectiveness. Additionally, it's noted that the RCMP and government have not been entirely forthright regarding the events, leading to extended emotional trauma for many affected by the tragedy.
The twenty-second truth accounts for the 13 lives lost in Portapique, during a botched response effort, emphasizing the disorder that permeated the scene when the RCMP arrived.
