The inquiry investigating the tragedy released documents Tuesday that include a recent interview with the EMO’s executive director, Paul Mason, who confirmed for the first time that the Mounties hadn’t considered using the Alert Ready system until his organization suggested it.“I find it surprising you could have an event go on from like 10:30 on Saturday night till 11:30 on Sunday and nobody thought about an alert until we called them.
