Not sure if this has come up before, but I did a search and nothing came up.
The event itself is rather carzy, so I'll let Wikipedia explain it for me...
Alright, so let's say things get a little more crazy, and Dallaire ends up killing Chrétien.
What is the reaction in the country when the news spreads? What actions would be taken by parliament following his death? Who would become the new Prime Minister? What effect would this have coming so soon after the 1995 referendum? Overall, what are the long-term and short-term impacts on Canada?

At 02:10 UTC−5 on November 5, Dallaire arrived outside 24 Sussex Drive and spent the next 20 minutes throwing stones onto the grounds and waving at security cameras while carrying a Pocket knife alternately described as three or five inches in length.
He then climbed the fence and strode over to the house, where he smashed a glass door and entered, wandering around the basement and ground floor for 30 minutes before heading to the Chrétiens' bedroom where he was confronted by Chrétien's wife, Aline as he was pulling on his gloves.[2]
Aline hurried back into the bedroom and locked the door, rousing Chrétien who initially dismissed her story as "just a dream", while she dialed the RCMP officers stationed outside the house.
Stories diverged whether Jean or Aline Chrétien brandished an Inuit stone sculpture of a loon in case Dallaire broke through the door.
Dallaire did not attempt to break down the door, and waited for the police to arrive. Controversially, it took seven minutes for the police to respond to Aline's desperate call about an intruder trying to kill the Prime Minister, in part because the first officer to respond had forgotten his key to the residence,[1] because the officers had decided to surround the house to prevent escape before entering it to ensure the Prime Minister's safety, and because the officer who answered the frantic telephone call first called his supervisor at the nearby Rideau Hall to ask what he should do.[3]
Alright, so let's say things get a little more crazy, and Dallaire ends up killing Chrétien.
