Canada’s public safety minister ‘deeply committed’ to enhance oversight of the RCMP
The federal public safety minister says he is “deeply committed” to enhancing oversight of the RCMP by strengthening the role of the national police force’s management advisory board.
In an interview, Marco Mendicino expressed a desire to give the board the “independence and autonomy that it needs” — possibly through legislative amendments — to ensure adequate supervision.
He also stressed the need for a clearer line of communication between the board and his office to help build “trust and confidence” between Canadians and RCMP.
