The federal government never pressured RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki to release details about the investigation into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shootings, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“Every step of the way, we recognized and supported the fact that the RCMP and police of jurisdiction are the ones who decide what is released and when,” Trudeau told reporters during a press conference in Surrey, B.C., on Oct. 21.
