Canadian Parliament to merge security forces after October gunman attack

OTTAWA - Canada's two houses of Parliament will merge their security forces after an attack by a gunman last month, officials said on Tuesday, a move aimed at addressing long-standing communications problems.
Four different services share responsibility for security on Parliament Hill and in 2012 the Auditor General - Canada's senior watchdog - urged the creation of a single force to eliminate confusion over jurisdictions.
The House of Commons and the Senate both have their own security forces, which will now be merged.
