RCMP Chief Supt. Darren Campbell and Lia Scanlan each accused Commissioner Brenda Lucki of saying she faced pressure from Ottawa to ensure information about the gunman’s weapons was released at a news conference
The two people who made allegations of political meddling in the investigation into a shooting spree in Nova Scotia are standing by their recollections.
The committee is sorting through conflicting reports about whether RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki pressured Nova Scotia RCMP to publicly release details about the weapons used by a gunman who murdered 22 people in a killing spree in April 2020. Lucki says she did not interfere in the investigation, but was frustrated with the Nova Scotia division over its communication with the public because media were reporting facts before the RCMP released them.
Campbell told MPs on the committee that Lucki “made me feel as if I was stupid” and like he didn’t understand the importance of releasing the information.
