Mayor Fenske to discuss concerns about RCMP contracts at meeting in Ottawa

Mayor Dennis Fenske will be representing the City and the Provincial Contract Management Committee in a meeting next month in Ottawa.

 

Mayor Fenske says the meeting concerns RCMP contracts:

 

"In Manitoba there are 22 policing contracts with the RCMP. The City of Thompson has the largest contract, in the excess of $4.5 million and so we are concerned on a regular basis in regards to increases that are negotiated that we have no input in. The negotiations take place between the Government of Canada, public safety, and the RCMP".

 

Fenske says this issue will be raised at the meeting. The meeting will include RCMP, the Government of Canada, and Public Safety Canada.
