Under fire over claims of political interference, Lucki calls for new rules on RCMP’s relationship with Ottawa
RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki says it’s time to bring in better guardrails between the national police force and the federal government to avoid future allegations of political interference.
“I think it’s time that we put something to writing that outlines the what you can and cannot do from both the commissioner’s perspective and the politicians,” she said under questioning at the Emergencies Act inquiry on Tuesday.
“I think it’s time to clarify, because it’s been a topic of conversation.”
