Mr. Speaker, the recommendations on what needs to be done have been around since Mayerthorpe, more than a decade ago.
There is no excuse for inaction, just as with the issue of sexual harassment in the RCMP. The situation has become so bad that nearly 400 female RCMP officers and civilian staff are joining a class action lawsuit against the RCMP. We are talking about allegations ranging from threats and bullying to sexual assault, all behaviours that have no place in any public organization.
How will the government support these victims and make sure that the RCMP action plan is fully implemented?
