Excerpts:
A report expected to recommend sweeping changes to the RCMP will be released in Ottawa on Friday in response to sliding public confidence in the national police force and low morale within its ranks. ...
Expected recommendations include an arm's-length ombudsman, to whom front-line officers could raise concerns without fear of reprisals. ...
Chief Supt. Fraser MacAuley blew the whistle on the Mounties' pension fund scandal, which led to Brown's first investigation. He was among those Mounties who said he came forward when he saw wrongdoing within the force, only to be punished for his efforts.
"We know what is going on," MacAulay said in April during his appearance at a parliamentary committee. "I was removed because I came forward, that is all."
