Montague said Lemaitre was told the inaccurate information he provided to the media about the incident involving Robert Dziekanski would not be corrected. I saw the institutional betrayal that he experienced first-hand, and I saw damage it did to him first-hand, Atoya Montague told a coroner's inquest into Pierre Lemaitre's death in July 2013. Montague said another officer was initially deployed to the airport to address the media after the confrontation between Dziekanski and four Mounties, who used a Taser to try and subdue the man on the night of Oct. 14, 2007. Lemaitre told reporters three officers approached a combative man and jolted him twice. The officer called her at 4 a.m. to say dealing with the incident would be beyond his scope, Montague said, adding she advised him to contact Lemaitre, who received information from investigators when he arrived at the airport.
