According to Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, downtown station Toronto was under high threat of terrorist attack in 2016.

This Revelation by Goodale was shared at the recent RCMP event where the new Commissioner Brenda Lucki was also given the responsibilities as the new in charge commissioner.

At the event Goodale gave tribute to all the RCMP officers who helped during the wildfires at McMurray, Alta., during the 2016, as they helped evacuate the area on time. Also, he mentioned those officers who helped capture the shooter at La Loche, Sask.

This is the first public confirmation of the target.

Goodale mentioned about the officers who helped stop Aaron Driver "before he could attack Union Station in Toronto."

Union station was confirmed the drivers target for the first time here.

Driver died in 2016 during a quarrel with RCMP officers in Strathroy, Ont., after they were lent to a death video made by someone planning an attack using homemade explosive devices.

At the time, RCMP said the attack was impending, targeting an urban center during rush hour.
