The phone call that gave rise to allegations of political interference in the RCMP’s investigation of the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shootings has been released to the public.

The Mass Casualty Commission (MCC) made public on Oct. 20 recordings and transcripts of the phone call between several RCMP officials, including Commissioner Brenda Lucki and Chief Supt. Darren Campbell, wherein Lucki berates staff for failing to release details about the guns used in the shooting.
