Affidavit sworn Friday by Supt. Jeffrey Beaulac, the RCMP’s deputy chief security officer at national headquarters in Ottawa, was released Tuesday
An affidavit by an RCMP security investigator details how the force obtained recordings of a tense meeting at the centre of allegations of political interference into the Mounties’ investigation into the Nova Scotia mass shooting.
Beaulac said that in June, senior management learned that the RCMP’s director of media relations, Dan Brien, had recorded at least part of the call. “She was told by Mr. Brien that the recording was done in error and it was not his common practice to record meetings. He stated the call had been recorded on a personal device that he no longer had use of.”
“As of today’s date, the recording of the April 28, 2020, call has not been located during these searches of the RCMPs technical infrastructure,” he said. Brien subsequently agreed to have the phone forensically examined and gave his permission to do so on Oct. 12. The next day, Beaulac said he was advised that three audio files had been retrieved concerning the April 28 call. The commission of inquiry was advised on Oct. 14 and was given the recordings on Oct. 17.“While the files do not cover the entirety of the meeting, they are a complete capture of what the extracted from Mr. Brien’s phone,” he said.
