Show detail Hide detail

Royal Canadian Mounted Police External Review Committee : The RCMP External Review Committee (ERC) was created on December 18, 1986 as the result of the 1976 Report of the Commission of Inquiry Relating to Public Complaints, Internal Discipline and Grievance Procedure within the RCMP. Part II of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act (R.C.M.P. Act) provides for its establishment and organization. The ERC became fully operational with the proclamation of the RCMP Act on June 30, 1988. It is comprised of a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson and a maximum of three members. Members are appointed by the Governor-in-Council for terms not exceeding five years, at the end of which they may be reappointed.

The mandate of the ERC is to provide an independent review of certain types of grievances (such as identification of linguistic requirements for staffing of positions, relocation policy, medical discharge), formal discipline, and discharge and demotion appeals filed by members of the R.C.M.P. who would otherwise have no opportunity for redress as they are not allowed to join a union and are not able to bargain collectively. Consequently, they are not subject to the grievance resolution procedures under the Public Service Staff Relations Act or the Canada Labour Code.

When the ERC completes its review of a case, the Findings and Recommendations are forwarded to the Commissioner of the R.C.M.P. The Commissioner is not required to follow them. When he does not do so, he must include in his final decision his reasons for such a course of action. In practice, the Commissioner usually follows the ERC's Findings and Recommendations. ERC is supported by a Secretariat, headed by an Executive Director, which fulfils the Committee's administrative and research needs. ERC is an ongoing program and is responsible to Parliament through the Solicitor General.
