The RCMP's watchdog says an investigation into the conduct of
Mounties during the G8 and G20 summits in Ontario in 2010 has found they
"on balance" did "a pretty good job" of policing. In an interview with CBC News, Ian McPhail, vice-chair and interim
chair of the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP (CPC),
said despite media reports "which looked a little alarming," the RCMP
protected foreign visitors and secured the summit areas. Although the report covers RCMP conduct for both the G8 in Huntsville and the G20 in Toronto, the complaints focused on the G20. "There were no credible threats against any foreign visitor and there
was no security breach within their area of jurisdiction," said the
watchdog. The commission found the RCMP planning to be "robust and thorough,"
and found no indication that it was guided by anything other than
"legitimate security concerns." The commission also saw no indication that RCMP undercover agents or
event monitors acted "inappropriately" or as "agents provocateurs." (more)
