Yes, I was sent home with pay, and then in.... Throughout that process I continued to call the RCMP, asking when I was going to be interviewed. I can't count how many times I called. “When am I going to be interviewed?” “When can I tell my story?” “When can I answer questions?” That took a heck of a long time.
In any case, I had some health issues in November-December of 2004, went on sick leave, and was on sick leave until my retirement date, which was June 16, 2005.
