RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki said on Monday she was not directed by the government to release information on the firearms used in the Nova Scotia mass shooting, but said she was asked by the chief of staff of the minister of public safety if she would do so.
“Asking questions is not interference,” Lucki told a special meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety examining allegations of political interference in the RCMP investigation into the tragedy that left 22 dead on April 18–19, 2020.
