CANADA, AUG 9 – The RCMP union urges easing foreign recruitment rules to attract experienced officers amid rising crime demands and proposes raising cadet training pay to $1,200 weekly.

- Federation president Brian Sauvé expressed that since the government has prioritized areas like public safety and border control, the RCMP should be able to take similar actions to address their own staffing and operational needs.
- Despite promises to recruit 1,000 more personnel and improve resources, long-standing recruitment and operational challenges remain insufficiently addressed, while Public Safety Canada commits to supporting RCMP needs.
