The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) plays an essential role in keeping Canadians safe.
The Government of Canada established the Management Advisory Board in June 2019 to provide the Commissioner with expert external advice on the management and administration of the RCMP, including advice on transformation.
Today, the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the Honourable Bill Blair, announced the reappointment of the RCMP Management Advisory Board members so they can continue their important work.
Board members were selected based on their diverse areas of expertise as well as their executive and corporate management experience and competencies, including in the key areas of human resources and labour relations, governance, change management and innovation, accounting and risk management, information technology, and policing and law enforcement.
The mandate of the Board and the terms of the members' appointment remain the same.
