“At no time did I cross that line”: Blair denies interfering in Nova Scotia shooting investigation

Global News published this video item, entitled “”At no time did I cross that line”: Blair denies interfering in Nova Scotia shooting investigation” – below is their description.

As allegations swirl that Bill Blair may have interfered politically with the RCMP in the wake of the Nova Scotia mass shooting, the emergency preparedness minister says he will “of course” stay in cabinet.

Two letters have now emerged that allege Blair pushed RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki to demand Nova Scotia RCMP release details about the firearms used during the shooting spree, which took 22 people’s lives on April 18, 2020.

They allege the pressure was tied to the Liberal government’s goals of passing firearms legislation — claims that Blair vigorously denied in a Wednesday press conference.

“I, and my government, did not give any operational direction or interfere in any way with the investigation or the police response,” Blair said.

“At no time did I cross that line.”
