Two Nova Scotia cabinet ministers are criticizing the RCMP's decision not to provide a formal public apology to the Black community for excessive street checks.

Justice Minister Brad Johns said Thursday the decision was "very disappointing" and he's unclear on the force's rationale, given that the Halifax Regional Police and the province made formal apologies for the policy and other historic mistreatment of the African Nova Scotia community.

Johns said he hasn't had a chance to sit down with senior RCMP officers in the province, but he expects to discuss the decision, recently provided to The Canadian Press, when he does meet with the force. Street checks, which are now banned in Nova Scotia, are defined as police randomly stopping citizens on the streets, recording personal information and storing it electronically.
