Timeline

He is last known to have worked at a dépanneur in the Hull—Aylmer district of Quebec, and is now married, with a steady job and a house, and has reportedly been forthcoming with "the people who monitor his case".

Granted full parole in July 1996 (the same year Jalbert died of cancer), he has since kept a low profile.

In 1995, Lortie was released on day parole to a halfway house in Hull, Quebec, after being released from a minimum security correctional facility north of Montreal where he had been undergoing psychiatric treatment, classes to deal with aggression, and serving a life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 10 years. According to officials from the Parole Board of Canada, Lortie no longer posed a threat to society, and "patched his life together despite being responsible for one of the most notorious events in Quebec history".

Lortie pleaded guilty to reduced charges of second-degree murder in 1987.

According to psychiatrist Pierre Mailloux, who was assigned to the case, Lortie suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and had organized his crime during a psychotic episode, believing that he was acting on instructions given to him from God. Nevertheless, in 1985, Lortie was convicted of first-degree murder, but a new trial was ordered when the Quebec Court of Appeal determined the trial judge had made errors while instructing jurors about how they should weigh testimony from psychiatrists heard in the case.

On May 7, 1984, Lortie left the CFS Carp military base (originally built as a Diefenbunker during the Cold War), pretending that he needed time off to arrange a divorce with his wife. Instead, he rented a car, drove to Quebec City and took a guided tour of the Parliament Building. He then rented a room in a motel for the night.

The next day, May 8, 1984, at 9:30 a.m., Lortie walked into CJRP radio station in Quebec City, identified himself as "Mr. D", and dropped off a sealed envelope containing an audiotape for one of the station's hosts, André Arthur. He instructed the radio staff not to open the envelope until 10:30 a.m. but they opened it anyway, discovering that it was a statement of Lortie's plans, in which he declared, "The government now in power is going to be destroyed." However, by the time radio staff contacted police, Lortie's plan had already been put into action.

Lortie joined the army and was stationed in Halifax, where he met and married Lisa Levesque in 1980. The couple had a son in 1982 and a daughter in 1983.

Under the release terms, Lortie was required to spend every night at the halfway house between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. He was also required to let parole board supervisors know where he was at all times, and was restricted to a 40 kilometer (24.8 mile) radius from the house. The relatives of some of Lortie's victims believed he was not punished severely enough, with some believing he should have been executed, a punishment that could not and cannot be applied as Canada abolished its death penalty in 1976.

Joseph Laurent Paul Denis Lortie was born in Quebec, the youngest son of eight children, all of whom were physically and sexually abused by his father. Lortie's father reportedly fathered a child with one of his daughters. One of them finally went to the police and in 1969, Lortie's father was sentenced to three years in prison. Upon his release he did not return to his family.

Denis Lortie (born March 10, 1959) is a former Canadian Forces corporal. In 1984, he stormed into the National Assembly of Quebec building and opened fire with several firearms, killing three Quebec government employees and wounding 13 others. The National Assembly's Sergeant-at-Arms, René Jalbert, volunteered himself to serve as a hostage, and conversed with Lortie for several hours before convincing him to surrender to authorities. After a 1985 conviction of first-degree murder was overturned by the Quebec Court of Appeal, Lortie pleaded guilty to reduced charges of second-degree murder in 1987, for which he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment with no parole for ten years. Lortie was granted day parole in 1995, then full parole in 1996, and has since kept a low profile.

Jalbert proceeded to inform him that he too had been a soldier with the Van Doos (slang for the Royal 22nd Regiment), and that if Lortie would allow it, he would show him his discharge card. Lortie agreed, after which Jalbert persuaded him to show his own identification.
