Megan McPhee, one of the plaintiffs’ lawyers, expressed pride at the outcome of the lawsuit. “This is the first workplace gender-based harassment class-action settlement in Canada,” McPhee said on Wednesday. “This included publicizing their personal account of the gender and sexual-orientation harassment which they endured within the RCMP,” McDonald said. The toll has been horrific.”RelatedNow retired after a medical leave, Davidson said what kept her going was the messages from other RCMP women thanking her for helping ensure they were believed. After a 60-day obligatory appeal period — the government consented to the settlement — women will have six months to make a claim for compensation.
