Honourable senators, the debate on the unionization of RCMP officers has often been linked to ineffectiveness, a lack of impartiality, speed, transparency and independence with regard to the highly complex processes of grievances and discipline. According to a series of reports released by the RCMP External Review Committee in recent years, the time taken to settle grievances or to impose disciplinary sanctions all too often exceeds the statutory time limit and can take several years.
Honorables sénateurs, le débat entourant la syndicalisation des membres de la GRC a également souvent été associé à l'inefficacité ainsi qu'au manque d'impartialité, de célérité, de transparence et d'indépendance des procédures très complexes ayant trait aux griefs et aux mesures disciplinaires.
