Response to the Report on Workplace Harassment in the RCMP, and the Review of the Four Cases of Civil Litigation Against the Rcmp on Workplace Harassment

'There can be no more important obligation for a Government than the protection and safety of its citizens. For 145 years, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has played an indispensable role in this regard. As Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, I take my responsibility for the Force very seriously. I also have a specific mandate from the Prime Minister to ensure the Public Safety Portfolio is free from harassment and sexual violence. ... I accept all the recommendations in the CRCC and Fraser reports, and commit to supporting the RCMP in acting on them to achieve a modern, effective, healthy and inclusive national police force.'--Minister's Message, p. 5-6.
