OTTAWA — MPs on the House of Commons public safety committee meet Monday to explore whether there was political meddling with the RCMP as it investigated the April 2020 shootings in Nova Scotia.
Lia Scanlan, an RCMP communication director, also told the public inquiry looking into the shootings that then-public safety minister Bill Blair and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were"weighing in on what we could and couldn't say," although she did not elaborate on what that meant. The witness list does not include Scanlan or Campbell, who is scheduled to appear before the public inquiry looking into the shootings in Halifax the same day.
It's not clear when the notes were written, although they reference the meeting as being in the past. "The commissioner said that she had promised the minister of public safety and the Prime Minister's Office that the RCMP would release this information," Campbell's notes read. Blair was asked at the same press conference whether the list included the type of weapons used by Wortman, and he confirmed some were, although he did not give specifics. Since the allegations, he has said he discussed the investigation into the shootings and the gun control measures with Lucki, but that those discussions were separate.
