Lucki warned Ottawa gun details highly sensitive
RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki warned the offices of top federal politicians not to share operationally sensitive details she was disclosing to them about a mass murderer’s weapons in a message she sent days before she pushed her subordinates to release that same information to the public.
But in that e-mail, she also stressed that this information about the weapons could only be circulated to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mr. Blair, given how detectives in Nova Scotia were still piecing together the trail of the weapons, and how many of them had been smuggled across the Canada-U.S. border.
“If she flagged that releasing this information would jeopardize the investigation … how would she change her tune five days later?” she said. The commission filed its latest subpoena to the federal government on July 4, asking for all outstanding records. “We continue to seek assurance that nothing else is being held back as per direction from subpoenas,” senior commission counsel Emily Hill said last week in a statement.
