Bullet damage scarring the halls of Parliaments Centre Block after the gunfight that killed Michael Zehaf-Bibeau is now being catalogued by experts preparing to decide what should be repaired and what should be left alone.
Heritage experts at Public Works and Government Services, the Crowns real estate and asset manager, are working closely with House of Commons curator Johanna Mizgala assessing the damage to determine the most appropriate approach to repair and conservation, said Heather Bradley, a spokeswoman for the House of Commons Speakers Office.

When I was stationed a Schofield Barracks we had bullet digs in the floors and holes on the outside of the quads from when the japs came through kole-kole pass and strafed the barracks. They were left there, although the windows were repaired. We needed to remember. I expect that they have been fixed recently in the interest of political correctness. Nothing surprises me now.
