Conservatives say cabinet minister Bill Blair and RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki “lied” about not having politically interfered in the RCMP’s investigation into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shootings, adding that they should resign.

On Oct. 20, the Mass Casualty Commission made public a recorded phone call from April 28, 2020, during which Lucki says she was “very frustrated” after her staff failed to include information about the guns used in the shootings in a news release and in press conference speaking notes.
