The purpose of Bill C-20 would be to review and investigate complaints about conduct and service of Mounties and personnel working with or for CBSA

The federal government is proposing to replace the existing civilian body that oversees the RCMP with a new independent commission that will have the added responsibility of monitoring Canada’s border services agency.

The new proposed review body would replace the CRCC and for the first time, it would also create independent review of the CBSA. The agency is currently subject to review by independent boards, tribunal and the courts but there is no external complaints or review body for it, the federal government says.

The legislation also codifies timelines in which the RCMP and CBSA must respond to interim reports, reviews and recommendations. Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s mandate letter from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, issued last December, mandated the introduction of legislation to create a review body for the RCMP including defined timelines to respond to complaints and recommendations.

Royal visit good 'publicity' for CanadaCTV News Royal Commentator Richard Berthelsen discusses Bloc Leader Blanchet's concerns over Canadians paying for the royal visit. The monarchy is corrupt! When a guest comes to your home do you bill them for dinner? That’s why we do not charge them when visiting Canada. Not to mention they helped to build the country. When we visit for dinner we bring a gift for the host. It’s not a bribe just polite. We know: The 2017 visit by Charles and Camilla - similar in length, at three days - cost $487,661.68.
