NDP MP urges Goodale to use all ‘legitimate tools’ to ensure RCMP investigate coerced sterilization claims GlobePolitics
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale should use all “legitimate tools” at his disposal to ensure the RCMP investigates women’s allegations of forced or coerced sterilizations, says NDP MP Don Davies.
“As both the minister of public safety and emergency preparedness and a senior member of cabinet from Saskatchewan, the apparent epicentre of this practice, I urge you to prevent these crimes from being overlooked,” Davies wrote. “These are clear crimes under Canadian law, and police should act when evidence of crime emerges regardless of whether a specific complaint has been lodged or not,” he wrote. “I therefore request that you use all legitimate tools at your disposal to ensure that the RCMP opens an investigation into all allegations of forced or coerced sterilizations within its jurisdiction in Canada and lay appropriate charges against those responsible for committing them.
