00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.079
part of the mass shooting happened during the

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.460
school hours on Tuesday and shortly after two

00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:39.079

00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:02.679
news, Abbotsford's police chief is adding his

00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.719
voice to the growing call for changes to Canada's

00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.120
justice system following an uptick in extortion

00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.620
-related violence. Chief Colin Watson says the

00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:15.159
federal government must modernize the criminal

00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.439
code. Watson also says his department is working

00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.640
beyond capacity just to keep up. The BC government

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.239
is increasing supports for children with Down

00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.260
syndrome and other disabilities. A new disability

00:01:29.260 --> 00:01:32.140
benefit will provide direct funding to support

00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:35.799
therapies and other interventions. The new program

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:40.780
will provide an extra $475 million for supports

00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:44.939
over a three -year period. Legendary Vancouver

Canucks play -by -play broadcaster Jim Robson

00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:51.280
has passed away. Robson came to Vancouver in

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.670
1970 and started calling Canucks games when the

00:01:54.670 --> 00:01:58.590
team became an NHL franchise. He was heard on

00:01:58.590 --> 00:02:04.030
