Today, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs, announced the re-appointment of Charles Randall Smith as Chairperson of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) External Review Committee. He has been re-appointed for a five-year term, effective June 18, 2024.
Mr. Smith brings extensive legal experience to the position, including 30 years as a legal officer with the Office of the Judge Advocate General for the Canadian Forces. With this re-appointment, Mr. Smith will continue to build on the achievements over the past five years to strengthen organizational accountability within the RCMP and promote a healthy, respectful, and inclusive workplace for RCMP members.
As an independent review body separate and distinct from the RCMP, the External Review Committee impartially reviews appeals of certain RCMP labour relations matters and processes, and provides findings and recommendations to the Commissioner of the RCMP.
