A month after the controversy first made headlines, key players will be testifying Monday as part of a parliamentary probe into allegations of political interference in the RCMP's investigation of the Nova Scotia mass shooting.
First up as part of today's Public Safety and National Security Committee's hearing into the allegations that federal officials put pressure on police in the aftermath of the worst mass shooting in Canadian history to help push forward a new gun ban, will be Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair.
The special summer meeting of the committee of MPs was the result of a pre-summer House of Commons hiatus vote, prompted by the opposition parties' desire for the government to provide a full airing of the facts as they relate to the matter. At the time, the Nova Scotia RCMP — which was under heavy scrutiny for its handling of the case from the start — said that releasing additional information would jeopardize the ongoing investigation into the perpetrator’s access to firearms.
