I certainly agree with you. This is not a new problem for us in the RCMP. This has been going on for at least 25 years that I can research back into the particular lawsuit that was raised yesterday here in Canada.
Part of the rationale from the head of the RCMP is that they did not have the ability to fire people. It was just a matter of shuffling people around and transferring people from one place to the other, rather than dealing with the issue head on.
One of the gentlemen I met within the RCMP last week said that when you make a complaint, you become a target because you are labelled a troublemaker even though you were very legitimate in what your concerns were, but they will just transfer you. Then there are units that wouldn't even want to accept you because you're labelled a troublemaker, and they don't want that either.
It's really intimidation in many ways.
What would you suggest our response to some of those comments should be?
