Embattled RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki says she wants to remain at the helm of the federal police force even as she faces growing dissatisfaction at the highest levels of the government over her leadership.
Commissioner Lucki, who has dealt with a series of controversies that has put the government on the defensive, said she does not want to step aside. Her five-year term comes up for renewal in March.
“I’m absolutely staying on as Commissioner of the RCMP,” she told reporters late Tuesday evening after testifying at the inquiry into the invocation of the Emergencies Act.
Brenda Lucki is untroubled, even in hindsight
… Again and again the same pattern played out: A lawyer would probe in a few different ways to get at a piece of information, and Commissioner Lucki would repeatedly answer a question just off-centre of what was actually being asked. It was impossible to tell whether it was obfuscation or genuine confusion, and she was affably apologetic after each clarification.
Unfit.
