A senior Mountie involved in the response to the 2020 mass killings in Nova Scotia says RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki didn’t seem to recognize “the importance of maintaining the integrity of an investigation,” as he says she pressed him on releasing information about the firearms used in the killings, which could support the federal government’s gun control legislation.
“The commissioner made me feel as if I was stupid, and I didn’t seem to understand the importance of why this information was important to go out—the information specific to the firearms as it was related to the legislation,” RCMP Chief Supt. Darren Campbell said at an Aug. 16 meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
