OTTAWA — Naming an Indigenous person as the next commissioner of the RCMP is 'an excellent idea,' Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday, but he cautioned against thinking that such an appointment would be enough to solve the force's problems.
OTTAWA — Naming an Indigenous person as the next commissioner of the RCMP is"an excellent idea," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday, but he cautioned against thinking that such an appointment would be enough to solve the force's problems.
"We will always look to try and make sure the full diversity of Canada and Indigenous representation is part of our considerations." RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki plans to retire this month, just before the end of her five-year term. In 2018, Lucki apologized to the families of some women who were part of an inquiry into the issue, saying that,"for too many of you, the RCMP was not the police service that it needed to be during this terrible time."
On Friday, Trudeau pointed out that choosing an Indigenous officer to lead the Mounties will not in and of itself fix the force's problems.
