The Mass Casualty Commission is aware that an RCMP business card is providing confusion about whether there is a relationship between the RCMP and the Commission.
We want to provide clarity. The Mass Casualty Commission is an independent inquiry that has the responsibility, among other things, of reviewing the RCMP’s activities with respect to the mass casualty events and their aftermath. The Commission does not employ anyone from the RCMP. We do not take any instructions from the RCMP. We are asking the RCMP to remove the card to avoid further confusion. We are reaching out to individuals and groups as well as the community to make them aware of our concern about the incorrect perception about our independence and to address any questions.
