House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, who has been praised for stopping a shooter at the Canadian Parliament has been named as Canada's ambassador to Ireland, according to CBC news.
Mr Vickers shot the lone gunman, named as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who killed a Canadian reservist and stormed Parliament Hill's Centre Block last October.
He received a standing ovation that lasted two-and-a-half-minutes, and was hailed as a hero, in the House of Commons the day after the attack.
Later, Prime Minister Stephen Harper concluded his speech by thanking Mr Vickers for his bravery and crossing the room to shake his hand.
The sergeant-at-arms is responsible for security of the parliamentary precinct and those who work there, including, controlling access to the House of Commons.
The job is also ceremonial, requiring him to lead MPs into the House of Commons at each sitting with a heavy gold mace, the symbol of the Queen's authority on his shoulder.
Before joining the Commons as director of security operations in 2005, Mr Vickers served with the RCMP for 29 years.
