Mounties Committed To Reconciliation With Indigenous People: Bob Paulson

The Canadian Press, 12 Jul, 2016 11:34 AM
  • Mounties Committed To Reconciliation With Indigenous People: Bob Paulson
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson says the Mounties must work jointly with indigenous people to develop strategies on reconciliation.
 
He signed a protocol this morning at the Assembly of First Nations annual meeting in Niagara Falls, Ont, committing to action.
 
Paulson says the protocol will help improve the RCMP's relationship with the AFN and with Canada's indigenous communities.
 
The move comes months after the commissioner was directly questioned about racism inside the RCMP during an AFN session.
 
At the time, Paulson conceded there are racists in his force.
 
The commissioner says he is aware the protocol is "simply words on paper" but he notes the force is committed to taking concrete actions.
