Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro is calling on the federal government to fire RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki, saying her continued tenure is damaging to the national police force.
On Wednesday, Shandro told reporters that federal Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino should immediately rescind Lucki's appointment. Soon after, Mendicino said the commissioner will remain in her post and Lucki said she has no plans to leave.
Shandro called Lucki's performance at two public inquiries this year "unforgivable." He said Lucki admitted to making no improvements to RCMP responses and communication during a mass casualty commission into the 2020 shooting deaths of 22 people in Nova Scotia.
"The commissioner of the RCMP must be held to the highest of standards. So far, Minister Mendicino has stood idly by while Commissioner Lucki has failed to meet even the most meagre of standards for the past two years," Shandro said in a written statement, also on Wednesday.
