A former RCMP assistant commissioner has backed her colleagues’ claims that Commissioner Brenda Lucki said she was pressured by then-Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to release details of firearms used in the 2020 mass shooting incident in Nova Scotia to further the Liberal government’s gun control legislation.
Lee Bergerman, also the former RCMP Commanding Officer of H Division in Nova Scotia, testified before the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security on July 25, saying that she agrees with the handwritten notes of her subordinate Superintendent Darren Campbell that Lucki had made a “promise” to Blair and the PMO that the details on firearms would be made public.
