Moncton Shootings – Labour Charges
The R-C-M-P has been charged under the federal labour code in connection with last year’s murder of three Mounties and the wounding of two others in Moncton.
The victims were shot last June by a heavily-armed Justin Bourque, who is serving life in prison with no parole for at least 75 years.
The charges against the R-C-M-P relate to the force’s training, equipment, and supervision.
After the shootings, an R-C-M-P review said the five victims faced several problems, including getting accurate information and accessing high-powered weapons and protective equipment.

Hydro One
Ontario’s ombudsman, auditor general and six other independent legislative officers are condemning the government’s plan to sell a majority stake of Hydro One.
In a rare move, the eight have written a joint letter calling on the Liberal government to reverse its plan, warning that the publicly traded utility would be shielded from their scrutiny.
The Liberals announced last month they intended to sell 60 per cent of Hydro One to generate money for public transit projects, but the initial public offering will only be 15 per cent.
The New Democrats are strongly against the sale while P-C Leader Patrick Brown called it “historic” that eight independent officers are expressing the same concerns. (The Canadian Press)
