Bill Blair came under fire during question period Wednesday over allegations of political interference that suggested RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki was acting on the orders of the Liberals in the wake of the mass shooting in Nova Scotia in April 2020.
Facing multiple questions, Blair came to the defense of Commissioner Brenda Lucki, who is at the center of the controversy, which has generated calls for emergency parliamentary hearings.
“There was no pressure brought to bear and no interference with the operational decisions of the RCMP,” Blair told reporters on Wednesday. “I made no effort to pressure the RCMP to interfere in any way with their investigation. I gave no direction as to what information they should communicate. Those are operational decisions of the RCMP. And I respect that and I have respected that throughout.”
