Description
May 15 Toronto Ontario's PC government introduced the Metropolitan Police Force Complaints Project Act, 1981 (Bill 68), sponsored by Solicitor General Roy McMurtry. The bill called for the establishment of a Public Complaints Investigation Bureau to replace the current Citizens' Complaint Bureau. The proposed bill was criticized because it allowed police thirty days to conduct an internal investigation themselves before other measures would be taken, and because a finding of misconduct against a police officer required "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." The bill passed third reading on November 17, 1981. (See also June 2, 1981; July 13, 1981; and September 24, 1981.)
