Sorry. Mr. Crupi's boss at that time was Mike Séguin, who was an assistant commissioner of the RCMP.
Also of note that year, even the person who ruled on the ostensible authority said, “You know, we're going to have to pay it”—in his opinion. But he states in his e-mail where he gives that opinion, “Furthermore, it is critical to the interest of the Force that the performance by the aforementioned individual”—Mr. Crupi—“be addressed immediately as to mitigate any and all further occurrences and possible risks to the RCMP.”
This is the year that Mr. Crupi actually made a performance bonus of five times the average in the public service.
