The union that represents 20,000 members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is calling on the federal government to offer clarity on its plans to review Canada’s national police force’s contract policing role.
Sauvé’s comments about the federal government’s vision for the future of the RCMP come a day after the Toronto Star reported that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme would like to see the RCMP transform into an investigative force like the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States.
In his December 2021 mandate letter, Mendicino was called on by Trudeau to conduct a contract policing review, and in the years since, further calls have come for the federal government to reconsider the role the RCMP play across the country. In May, Mendicino announced a “Progress Monitoring Committee,” chaired by retired Nova Scotia Court of Appeal Justice Linda Lee Oland, to help monitor the implementation of these recommendations, thoughwhether the Liberals actually plan to follow through on all reforms called for.
