MPs returning to the scene of parliamentary assault say they'll carry on

  • MPs returning to the scene of parliamentary assault say they'll carry on

OTTAWA - Some members of Parliament say they'll have a tough day as they return to caucus rooms where they were locked in last week as a gunman attacked Canada's seat of power.

The NDP brought a counsellor into the party's caucus room, just in case anyone wanted to talk about the trauma of last week when Michael Zehaf-Bibeau exchanged gunfire with Mounties and Parliament Hill security guards a few feet away in the Hall of Honour.

On the way into the weekly meeting New Democrat MP Glenn Thibeault said while everyone will get through the day, it won't be easy.

Conservative caucus chairman Guy Lauzon said he just wants to get on with the business of government, and ensuring that all Canadians are safe.

Minutes before entering Parliament, Zehaf-Bibeau shot and killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial.

A funeral was held for the 24-year-old Hamilton, Ont., native on Tuesday.
