NPA mayoral candidate Suzanne Anton is set to introduce a motion at Tuesday's council meeting calling for an internal review of the Stanley Cup riot and what led up to it.
The councillor told CTV News she's only looking to repeat the process the city underwent in the wake of the 1994 hockey riot, in order to avoid yet another night of mayhem in the future.
"They went through that process in 1994; there was a very good set of recommendations developed at that time. Were those followed? I don't know if they were," she said.
But it's a move that's perplexing Mayor Gregor Robertson, who says two inquiries are already underway.
"She must've missed the city manager and the police chief saying they're proceeding with internal reviews," Robertson said Sunday. "It's a very standard operating procedure for an event like this."
The provincial government has also pledged to review its role in the riot.
Robertson has been deflecting criticism since revealing he didn't know police plans for Game 7, and that Vancouver Police Department Chief Jim Chu won't tell him how many officers were on the ground.
"That is confidential information the police use when they're policing large events," he said. "There's a security issue with that, which I totally understand and I respect."
But critics, including Anton, say that answer doesn't suffice.
"I can't understand that," Anton said. "Gregor Robertson ran this event out of his office. The buck stops at his desk. He's the chair of the police board, he should be able to get answers."
Anton introduced another motion on Wednesday calling on the mayor and councillors to release all internal documents and emails relating to the planning of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
