Conservative MPs Raquel Dancho and Pierre Paul-Hus spoke out against the Canadian government appearing to engage in political interference with the police investigation into the Nova Scotia mass shooting. .“When the commissioner of the RCMP tells the government releasing certain information would compromise an active investigation, that should be the end of the conversation,” said Dancho and Paul-Hus in a Tuesday statement. .“Clearly, that wasn’t the end of it and somewhere in those five days, the commissioner was worn down.”.Dancho and Paul-Hus said it's unbelievable RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki changed her mind without political interference. .Email evidence indicates Lucki warned Public Safety Minister Bill Blair releasing information about the guns used in the crime could affect the investigation. The statement said a few days later some action must have swayed Lucki to change her mind. .Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Blair said no undue pressure was put on her. Dancho and Paul-Hus said it's time for Trudeau and Blair “to come forward and tell Canadians the full story including exactly how much pressure they and staff in their government applied.” .As more details become available, the Conservative MPs said it appears the Liberals pressured Lucki and are “misleading Canadians and trying to cover their tracks.” .“We need to hear from all involved, right up to the Prime Minister’s Office,” they said. .“This cover-up must not continue any longer.” .The House of Commons Public Safety Committee voted on June 23 to hold a hearing on political interference allegations in the RCMP's investigation of Nova Scotia mass shooting..Witnesses are expected to include Lucki, and the hearing could begin as late as July 25..She has been accused of pressuring the RCMP in Nova Scotia to release information about the weapons used by the shooter.
