Description

October 5 Ottawa NGRC/CNDH demanded a meeting with Solicitor General Francis Fox to discuss discrimination against homosexuals in and by the RCMP. This was in reaction to statements made by an RCMP spokesperson in the Globe and Mail that investigations of prospective RCMP officers focus on "character weaknesses—alcoholism, homosexuality and traits such as extreme dependence on one's mother." Fox responded four months later in a statement that skirted the issue.
