Legacy
Justice
25. We call upon the federal government to establish a written policy that reaffirms the independence of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to investigate crimes in which the government has its own interest as a potential or real party in civil litigation.
Our usual Government of Canada page states that the government "reaffirms the independence of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from the executive branch in all criminal investigative matters. Any directions provided by the Minister, pursuant to s. 5 of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act may not include directions which directly apply to or interfere with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's criminal investigation functions. In addition, ministers may not attempt to influence in any way the conduct of specific criminal investigations."
According to Beyond 94, (a great resource, but not very user-friendly...) as of March 2018, no written policy pertaining to this Call has been created.
