E-petition
Initiated by Melissa Spenard from Huntingdon, Quebec
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) have no independent oversight mechanism to ensure internal compliance;
- Decisions made by the RCMP and CBSA have a profound impact on the lives of clients and employees;
- Bill C-20, An Act establishing the Public Complaints and Review Commission and amending certain Acts and statutory instruments, does not include any independent oversight mechanism to objectively verify or review complaints of internal misconduct; and
- In so doing, the current bill creates an independent review body for the RCMP and CBSA that has no authority to ensure that laws, policies and regulations are properly enforced while promoting accountability and integrity for alleged misconduct within the organization.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to amend Bill C-20, An Act establishing the Public Complaints and Review Commission and amending certain Acts and statutory instruments, in order to include an independent mechanism to review internal misconduct within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Border Services Agency.
