Bain tells Mason in the audio recording his vision, which he said was sent to him by God, was for the City of Montreal to become its own province in order for the English and French to live in harmony.
Crown prosecutor Dennis Galiatsatos also played a recording of another interview Bain did from jail with a francophone TV host a few months after the shooting.
