A lawyer representing some of the families of victims of the 2020 Nova Scotia mass killing challenged RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki on why she raised the issue of the Liberal government’s gun control legislation, since it didn’t relate to the investigation into the killings, which were carried out with weapons obtained illegally and smuggled in from the United States.
“You can’t point to anything that would suggest that there’s a logical connection between what happened here in Nova Scotia and those issues being addressed by that legislation, legislation that was announced on May 1, 2020?“ asked Michael Scott of Patterson Law, as Lucki appeared on Aug. 23 before the Mass Casualty Commission, a public inquiry into the tragedy.
