CTV
The national Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa on Thursday was delayed because a suspicious package was identified on the premise, the RCMP says.
A spokesperson from the organization told CTV News that the package was found a few minutes prior to the ceremony.
“As a precautionary measure, our officers investigated it and the package was cleared a few minutes after,” a statement from the RCMP reads.
The security issue pushed back the arrival of the motorcades of the prime minister, the Silver Cross Mother, and the Governor General by 10 minutes.
