The two people who made allegations of political meddling in the investigation into a shooting spree in Nova Scotia are standing by their recollections.
Chief Supt. Darren Campbell and former RCMP strategic communications director Lia Scanlan were among the witnesses called to testify at the House of Commons public safety committee Tuesday.
The RCMP has been under intense scrutiny over its communication with the public and the families of victims during and after the killing spree. A public inquiry underway in Nova Scotia has been tasked with examining that issue, among others related to the shootings and the police response. At the time, the RCMP was working with the FBI and other agencies to figure out how Wortman was able to smuggle weapons from the United States.No one has ever been charged, in Canada or in the U.S., with helping Wortman obtain or smuggle those firearms.
That direction, according to Campbell and Chief Supt. Chris Leather, who also testified before the committee in July, came from Nova Scotia's police watchdog, the Serious Incident Response Team, known as SIRT.
