All the answers Canadians are seeking about this week鈥檚 deadly rental-van attack in Toronto may not be forthcoming, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday, as he once again offered his condolences to the families of the victims.

But one of his cabinet ministers said it is time Canadians speak up about what she described as a troubling trend of hate directed at women.

While questions still persist about why a man used a rental van to ram pedestrians on a busy stretch of Yonge Street sidewalk, killing 10 and injuring 14, the families of the victims might not get the answers they want to questions of motive, Trudeau said.

鈥淥bviously, the investigation is ongoing and I鈥檓 not going to comment on various aspects of it,鈥� the prime minister said as he entered the weekly caucus meeting on Parliament Hill.

鈥淏ut a lot of people have questions as to why, and there may or may not be actual answers,鈥� he warned.

Police are investigating a message allegedly posted by the 25-year-old suspect, which suggests the attacker may have been targeting women.

Alek Minassian is charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder, with a 14th attempted murder charge possible, pending further investigation.

Labour Minister Patty Hajdu, who was at the caucus meeting along with Trudeau, said people are too silent about misogyny and it鈥檚 time society spoke up.

鈥淔rom my perspective, we have to have a conversation about misogyny, about the rise in hate and the connection to what some call the alt-right,鈥� said Hajdu.

鈥淚 think it鈥檚 a conversation that鈥檚 just not being had loudly enough in our society.鈥�

Authorities have not yet released the names of the 10 people killed in the attack.

Trudeau wouldn鈥檛 say whether he would attend a weekend memorial for the victims, but does plan to visit once he feels he would not distract from the investigation.
