RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki blames allegations of interfering on 'misunderstandings'
Campbell’s notes, backed up by commission testimony by RCMP Communications Director Lia Scanlan, described a contentious telephone meeting after an April 28 press conference where a frustrated Lucki chastised officials for not releasing information on Wortman’s firearms — claiming she’d promised both Blair and the Prime Minister that information would be made public.
At the time, and in that context, Lucki testified she was upset that she’d already assured Blair the information on Wortman’s firearms would be disclosed.“I felt I had misinformed the Minister, and by extension, the Prime Minister.”— based on an access to information request — that revealed his guns were illegally purchased in the United States and then smuggled into Canada.
“I may have — I’m not going to question Supt. Campbell’s recollection, but it was in the context of confiurming the information that was asked of me,” she said.Article content
