.IvisonJ: RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki stands by her minister. Fortunately, for the Liberals, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki is no Jody Wilson-Raybould via nationalpost
Unfortunately for the government, the then justice minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould, interpreted the subtle coercion she was exposed to as “undue pressure.” She was demoted for failing to bow to that pressure. But her determination to speak truth to power demolished the Trudeau government’s narrative for championing openness and transparency.
Conservative public safety critic Raquel Dancho said the Liberals had sought to leverage the bloodbath for political gain.RCMP HQ refused top officer's request for independent review of Nova Scotia shooting: inquiry Testifying on Monday, Stewart said: “There was an expectation on her part that there would be a full disclosure…, the guns included.”
In the days between informing the government about the weapons and the press conference on April 28, Lucki said she was asked by Astravas if the information would be released. “When my communications team told me that it would be, I relayed this information back to the minister’s chief of staff and the deputy minister,” she said.
“The meeting was remarkable in its timing, only 10 days after the tragedy,” said Leather. “The call was infused with emotion and a reference to pending gun legislation by the Commissioner, just a few minutes after a key press conference given by Chief Superintendent Campbell.”
