HALIFAX — As a public inquiry prepares for the release of its final report into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting, its findings are sure to refocus the spotlight on the RCMP's problem-plagued response to the 13-hour rampage that claimed 22 lives.
"Given how grave it was and how many people lost their lives ... the RCMP could have, at the very least, demoted or meted out some sort of punishment to show the public that they were taking it seriously." Critics accused Lucki of interfering in a police investigation, but the commissioner denied the allegation.
On Aug. 23, 2022, Bergerman told the inquiry the RCMP should communicate better with the public and learn more about the communities it is policing. For days, Leather and other senior Mounties withheld other key information from the public, including the victims' names and basic details regarding the weapons used by the killer — information that senior Mounties in Ottawa had asked to be released.Leather became interim commander of the Nova Scotia RCMP after Bergerman left, but he returned to his previous position in May 2022. Three months later, he joined a federal policing modernization team at RCMP headquarters in Ottawa.
