About André Dallaire in brief

Summary André DallaireAndré Dallaire is a Canadian man who attempted to assassinate Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien in 1995. He was found guilty of attempted murder, but deemed not responsible because of mental incompetence. The breach was compared with other Ottawa security breaches in October 2014, after a gunman had killed a soldier and attacked the buildings. The main reasons cited were the main reasons of the aging residence needing at least ten million dollars in repairs to make it safely habitable, and the fact that the site’s security was not properly monitored by the RCMP.

In 1998, D allaire spoke to the media, apologizing for his prior behaviour, and reassuring the Canadian public that he was now on medication that controlled his actions. After about a year, he was given a conditional discharge, and sent to live in an Ottawa group home. In August 2014, there was a break-in at the home of Justin Trudeau, who was then the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, the party with third most seats.
