"Statement from RCMP Commissioner Duheme after outgoing PM Trudeau releases white paper."
“While the RCMP was not consulted in the development of this particular document, changes need to be made to ensure the sustainability of federal policing and to position the RCMP to properly address the highest levels of crime. This is why, several months ago, the RCMP presented Public Safety Canada with our own transformation plan. Our plan, which is feasible, aims to address today’s complex criminality by leveraging the front line work taking place in communities across the country."
