Premiers tell Ottawa they 'urgently' want negotiations to begin on future of the RCMP

Canada's premiers are pressing Ottawa to clarify its plans for the RCMP and to initiate urgent talks with provinces that want to maintain the force. This push reflects a growing concern among provincial leaders about the future structure and role of the RCMP, especially in light of recent calls for significant reforms. With many provinces keen on retaining the RCMP as their primary police force, this push underscores the broader implications for policing, public safety, and federal-provincial relations in Canada.
