Mountie can't recall discussions in meeting, Taser inquiry hears

[CHIMO]

An officer who convened a counselling session for the four Mounties involved in the death of Robert Dziekanski cannot remember details of the meeting, a public inquiry heard Wednesday.

At the Braidwood inquiry into Dziekanski's death, which is being held in Vancouver, RCMP Cpl. Nycki Basra testified she volunteered with the RCMP's employee assistance program and organized the critical incident debriefing session for Cpl. Monty Robinson, Const. Bill Bentley, Const. Kwesi Millington and Const. Gerry Rundel.

The session took place on Oct. 27, 2007, two weeks after Dziekanski, a Polish immigrant, died in Vancouver's airport shortly after the RCMP stunned him with a Taser up to five times.

Basra was trained to listen — she had been a peer counsellor since high school — but her job at the session was to monitor the officers' emotions, provide tissues, water and moral support, the inquiry heard.
