Separate the RCMP from Government Control


Separate the RCMP from Government Control
The Issue
Call #25. Reaffirm the independence of the RCMP to investigate crimes in which the government is a potential party.
As a Canadian citizen, I need to know that the government will be held accountable for their actions to feel safe and trust who is making decisions for the citizens of Canada. Currently, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) operates under government control, which can lead to conflicts of interest when investigating cases where the government itself might be a suspect. By separating the RCMP from direct governmental oversight, we can ensure impartial and thorough investigations.
Independent law enforcement agencies have been shown to improve public trust and accountability. For instance, in countries like Sweden and Norway, independent police authorities have led to higher transparency and reduced corruption (Transparency International). It is crucial that Canada follows this model to maintain integrity within our justice system.
