Legault described Breau’s death last week as “another violent tragedy,” adding, “It is clear that there are mental health problems.” He promised to ensure that patients who pose a risk are treated quickly.

On Feb. 8, a driver with the Laval transit corporation was arrested after the bus he was driving turned down the driveway of a daycare in Laval and plowed into the front of the building, killing two young children. Pierre Ny St-Amand, 51, who is facing two first-degree murder charges, is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation to assess whether he was legally insane at the time of the alleged attack.
The man accused of fatally stabbing Breau is a different story. Isaac Brouillard Lessard, whom police shot dead after he allegedly stabbed the officer, had a history of mental health issues and had been found not criminally responsible at least five times for past offences.
