The House of Commons public safety committee voted 6–5 Monday to re-question both RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and former Public Safety Minister Bill Blair over allegations of political interference in the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting investigation.

The allegations resurfaced last week after the Mass Casualty Commission (MCC) made public a phone-call recording of Lucki telling RCMP staff that Blair had requested for investigation details regarding which guns were used in the mass shooting to be publicly released.
