Mr. Speaker, perhaps it would be helpful if I read the entire statement that the RCMP commissioner issued Tuesday.
The commissioner writes:
It is important to note that the sharing of information and briefings with the Minister of Public Safety are necessary, particularly during a mass shooting on Canadian soil. This is standard procedure, and does not impact the integrity of ongoing investigations or interfere with the independence of the RCMP.
She concludes by stating:
I take the principle of police independence extremely seriously, and it has been and will continue to be fully respected in all interactions.
There was no interference.
