In the months ahead, Oliver-McCurdie plans to make a mission of ensuring action is taken on the 130 recommendations from a public inquiry that investigated why it took the RCMP 13 hours to stop a man who killed 22 people in Nova Scotia on April 18-19, 2020.
But there are lingering concerns that little, if anything, will change, especially when it comes to the RCMP. Corley says changes within the RCMP will not take hold unless the roles and responsibilities of senior government officials and RCMP management are clarified. And the inquiry has recommended the RCMP take steps to “disrupt the unhealthy aspects of the RCMP’s management culture.”Article content
“The looked back on a history of 71 inquiries and reviews, which had a combined total of 2,000 recommendations,” Corley said in a recent interview. “Many of those continue to go unfulfilled.” Christopher Schneider, a sociology professor at Brandon University in Manitoba, says two of the commission’s most important recommendations are unlikely to become reality, mainly because of politics.
Meanwhile, the commission’s recommendation to shut down the RCMP’s training academy in Regina by 2032 is also doomed to fail, said Schneider, an expert on policing issues. Earlier this month, the Saskatchewan legislature approved a motion to oppose the closure of Depot Division, which has been used to train Mounties since 1885. Federal members of Parliament from the area are also opposed to the move.
