Trudeau says appointing Indigenous RCMP commissioner is an ‘excellent idea’
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says having an Indigenous person serve as the next commissioner of the RCMP is “an excellent idea.”
He made the comment in response to questions from reporters in Winnipeg today about a call from some First Nations leadership for the government to ensure the next top Mountie is Indigenous.
RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki is set to retire from her post this month, slightly before the end of her five-year term.
