Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday his office did not interfere in the investigation into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting. Trudeau made the comments while in Kigali, Rwanda, as part of a 10-day international trip.

“Absolutely not. We did not put any undue influence or pressure. It is extremely important to highlight that it is only the RCMP, it is only the police that determine what and when to release information,” Trudeau said.

The Prime Minister's remarks followed earlier comments by RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and the former public safety minister Bill Blair that pushed back against suggestions they interfered in the probe into Canada’s worst mass shooting in order to push gun control measures.

A report published Tuesday by the inquiry into the massacre revealed notes from a meeting of senior RCMP leadership 10 days after the shooting, in which Lucki said she had promised Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) that police would release information about the firearms used by the shooter.

Lucki later denied she interfered with the investigation and defended her discussions with Blair at the time.

Separately, Trudeau blamed Russia on Thursday for skyrocketing energy and food prices that have left millions of people in Africa and other parts of the world struggling to feed themselves. He levelled the accusation as he announced $250 million in new funding for the World Food Program.

The prime minister also said he would bring up questions of human rights when he meets with Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
