The reporters should have taken the opportunity to ask if the RCMP had anything to do with the recent cancelling of the 'Treaty Between Canada And The Republic Of Poland On Mutual Legal Assistance In Criminal Matters'. It seems that it was cancelled shortly after the Polish Government expressed an interest in laying charges in Poland against the four constables responsible for killing Dyziekanski. You can bet the rent that's a scandal waiting for the light of day. My understanding is that international Treaties are not cancelled willynilly in the backrooms of bureaucracy. How does a government agency get such a Treaty cancelled, and cancelled in short order, after coming under threat of charges, if that is what happened? Pull that thread and you'll get closer to the reasons that we are experiencing problems exercising public control of our police than have all the Inquiries and Commissions to date.
Doesn't Canada have any sense of embarrassment ?
