Alberta justice minister urges federal government to dismiss RCMP commissioner Lucki
EDMONTON – Alberta’s justice minister wants the federal government to fire the head of the RCMP.
Justice Minister Tyler Shandro is urging Marco Mendicino, the federal minster of public safety, to immediately dismiss RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki, saying Alberta has lost confidence in her.
Shandro says Lucki has failed to do her job on multiple files, including the convoy protests and blockades earlier this year.
In response, Mendicino says the government has confidence in Lucki and the federal government will continue to follow the normal process on evaluating and appointing commissioners.
