The RCMP's response to a watchdog report about the Colten Boushie case will be on commissioner Brenda Lucki's desk on Friday, Dec. 4, Lucki says. Boushie, a 22-year-old member of the Red Pheasant Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, was shot and killed in Gerald Stanley's farmyard in August 2016. Among the issues was the RCMP informing Boushie's mother of his death during a tactical search of her home. The CRCC report and the RCMP's response were due to be made public in the summer, but the Globe and Mail reported that nothing had been released. Three weeks ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was frustrated by the delays and asked Public Safety Minister Bill Blair to look into the status of the review.
