The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is aware of — or could at least easily identify — the officers accused in some of the most egregious cases of sexual assault in the service, former Supreme Court of Canada justice Michel ​Bastarache told MPs tonight. His appearance before the standing committee on national security comes two weeks after he released a scathing report on sexual harassment in the RCMP. They include women who experienced sexual harassment and gender or sexual orientation-based discrimination while working for the Mounties. Former Supreme Court of Canada justice Michel Bastarache is seen outside Federal Court in Toronto on Wednesday, May 24, 2017. When the report was published late last month, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki promised sexual harassment in the service would not be tolerated.
