Larry Tremblay’s letter on political ‘influence’ raises concerns about premier, say Susan Holt, David Coon

Opposition leaders say new information about the 2021 departure of the RCMP’s top officer in New Brunswick is another example of Premier Blaine Higgs blaming others for his lack of leadership.

CBC News revealed this week that J Division commanding officer Larry Tremblay raised concerns about a Higgs government vision that “blurs the lines between politics and policing” in a July 2021 letter.

The province had asked for Tremblay’s removal from the position, leading to Tremblay’s retirement from the RCMP later that year.
