Prime Minister Mark Carney has cancelled his plans to travel to Halifax and Munich, Germany, following a deadly school shooting in British Columbia.

As news of the tragedy unfolded Tuesday evening, Carney's staff said he was suspending his plans to travel for the time being but now say the whole trip is cancelled.

A statement from the Prime Minister's Office says Carney is remaining in the National Capital Region at this time.

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree will join B.C. Premier David Eby in Tumbler Ridge later today, the statement says.

The statement says National Defence Minister David McGuinty, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Minister of Artificial Intelligence Evan Solomon will travel to Germany for the Munich Security Conference on the prime minister's behalf.

Carney's announcement on Canada's national defence industrial strategy, scheduled for today, has been postponed, the statement says.
