Questions in the legislature today about the provincial government’s new 20 year deal with the RCMP in the wake of the controversial transfer of Sergeant Don Ray.
NDP public safety critic Kathy Corrigan says the new RCMP deal was supposed to give BC more control, instead its been saddled with a disgraced officer who had sex and exposed himself on the job.
“will she admit that the so called accountability in the new contract isn’t worth a hill of beans if it can’t provide somebody like Sergeant Ray coming to British Columbia?”
Justice minister Shirley Bond insists she’s complained to the RCMP’s top brass.
“Not only am I offended by that kind of behaviour, that message was clearly conveyed to the commissioner.”
So far the transfer stands, and Thursday is the deadline for local governments to sign on to that new contract.
