The RCMP says it is not investigating allegations of political interference in the federal handling of criminal charges against engineering firm SNC-Lavalin.
In a statement today, the Mounties set the record straight after a recent response to a public interest group's Access to Information request suggested the Mounties were conducting such a probe.
In early 2019, the Globe and Mail newspaper reported that prime ministerial aides leaned on Jody Wilson-Raybould, who was the federal attorney general at the time, to ensure there was a deal that would avoid prosecution. In a written response to questions from The Canadian Press, the national police force said its sensitive and international investigations unit conducted an assessment pertaining to the interference allegations.
