Police say officers have spoken with a person of interest in the case, but that there have been no arrests as of Thursday afternoon.

Carney says members of the government would do everything they could to help ensure the killer is brought to justice.

“Ms. Ben Salem was a valued member of the Canada Revenue Agency, dedicated to serving Canadians, which she was doing at the time of her assault,” he said.

“The Government of Canada, and everyone in this chamber, will do everything in its power to support the police force so that the perpetrator of this shameful crime pays the full price.'”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also paid tribute to Ben Salem, describing her as a “treasured member of the public service who tragically lost her life.”
