Our association feels that the executive part of our work should not be mixed with the legislative part just for the sake of maintaining parliamentary privileges.
RCMP members, especially under the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act, have an obligation to report only and exclusively to an RCMP member. We feel that this could cause some problems in the near future, as the message of the two Speakers to the new director would be somewhat diluted or changed owing to comments from his real boss, who would be the RCMP commissioner or the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.
There could be some confusion around that in the near future. Directives from the two Speakers to the director could be confused with those he would receive from the RCMP commissioner or the minister.
