Victims found inside the home on Fellers Avenue:

Wendy Cocchia, B.C.’s lieutenant governor, has just entered the legislature chambers in Victoria ahead of what is expected to be a sombre throne speech at 2 p.m. PT. She arrived after MLAs held a formal moment of silence at the legislature at noon.

The speech from the throne is usually a celebratory occasion — a traditional affair featuring a red carpet and cannons — that lays out the government's agenda for the coming session.

Today's event is very different. Cocchia entered the legislature quietly via the inconspicuous east entrance, instead of the large iron gates at the ceremonial front entrance. 

Poilievre will be travelling to Tumbler Ridge tomorrow on the government plane with Carney, the Opposition leader's office has confirmed. Liberal House leader Steven MacKinnon said today all of the federal party leaders have been invited.
