TORONTO -- Social media has been filled with speculation about the relationship between RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and Finance Minister Bill Morneau, after rumours began circulating that Lucki was married to Morneau’s cousin. But both the RCMP and Morneau’s campaign have said the allegations are false.Claims that Lucki’s husband, Ray Gauthier, is related to Morneau first surfaced in mid-August, but garnered more attention on social media after the writ dropped on Sept. 11.
The most popular version of the meme, featuring pictures of Lucki, Morneau, and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, reads, “Brenda is married to Bill Morneau’s cousin, and was directly appointed to her position by Justin Trudeau.”It continues, “The SNC-Lavalin obstruction of justice file just happens to be in her sandbox.”
The rumour has sparked allegations that Lucki’s alleged relation to Morneau would cause a conflict of interest in a potential investigation into the SNC-Lavalin affair.In an email to CTV News, an RCMP spokesperson said Wednesday, “We have confirmed and the Commissioner’s husband is not related to Finance Minister Bill Morneau.”
Several versions of the meme note that Lucki was “directly appointed to her position by Justin Trudeau.” While the Trudeau named Lucki as commissioner,for Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale’s consideration.
