MONTREAL — A Quebec provincial police officer told a coroner's inquest on Monday that there isn't enough collaboration between police and the mental health system on matters of public safety.
"At this point, we're fighting to hold up a system that doesn't work very well, this is the reality in Quebec," Côté said. He held back tears and said,"I'm here for Maureen." Côté said he learned from one health-care worker that Brouillard Lessard had a history of violence against employees of the health system. But Côté said other workers who had been assigned to Brouillard Lessard's case refused to speak about him.
On Jan. 30, his partner, Gabriel Ménard, told the inquiry that officers often face a"wall" when trying to get information about mental health cases. Lévesque said while police noted a katana-style sword and another knife in his apartment on the March 24, 2023, visit, they did not feel they had any reason to arrest Brouillard Lessard despite his parents' concerns.
