Former auditor general to review RCMP’s response to harassment lawsuits
OTTAWA — The Liberal government has appointed a former auditor general to review the RCMP’s response to lawsuits from four members of the force alleging harassment.
The government says the move is the latest step to ensure all RCMP employees feel safe and respected in the workplace.
As a special adviser, Sheila Fraser will provide recommendations on the policies and procedures the national police force pursued after Catherine Galliford, Alice Fox, Atoya Montague and Susan Gastaldo filed legal proceedings against the RCMP.
Fraser’s appointment is effective immediately and concludes at the end of March.
