Number of Mounties on long-term sick leave poses 'significant operational challenges': report
The proportion of Mounties on long-term, off-duty sick leave has reached an all-time high and become a critical issue for the national police force, according to a new outside report. The Management Advisory Board (MAB), an oversight body that advises the RCMP commissioner, is warning that the existing model of unlimited sick leave at full pay is unsustainable and in need of a rethink in order to get more officers back on patrol — recommendations that are already garnering vehement disagreement from the RCMP union. "The rapid increase over the past fifteen years in the number of RCMP employees on [leave] presents an area of well-being concern at the individual level and poses significant operational challenges at the organizational level," said the report from the board's well-being task force. "It also has the potential to impact public safety writ large," the report continued. "This increase also comes with significant associated financial costs." Long-term, off-duty sick status is used for absences due to illness, injury or disability that exceed 30 consecutive days. According to the task force's figures, the number of RCMP regular members on leave has increased by 184 per cent over a 14-year period. As of Dec. 31, 2024, about seven per cent of the regular members were on long-term, off-duty leave at an approximate cost of $58 million, the task force estimated in its report. It also raised concerns about the number of Mounties on extended leave for more than a year. As it stands, the task force — which said it talked to regular members, supervisors and senior leadership — found the model "offers no incentive to return to work." The task force said it recognizes Mounties put their lives on the line and many will face injury and trauma during their careers. "These injuries, whether mental, physical, or otherwise, need appropriate recovery time," said the report. However, it also recommends the RCMP rethink its unlimited sick leave regime at full pay, and consider incorporating a reduction in pay after a pre-established period on leave. "The task force heard repeatedly that the current unlimited sick leave at full pay model used by the RCMP is unsustainable in its current state, places undue pressure on the organization and has an adverse impact on the RCMP's human, financial and technical resources," it said. RCMP says it's reviewing recommendations The union representing thousands of RCMP officers vehemently disagrees with the report's findings. Brian Sauvé, president of the National Police Federation, said the issues don't lie with the sick leave pay model, but with how it's managed. He believes the report missed the union's warnings that the RCMP's disability management accommodation program is not properly funded. "They never looked at the fact that there's a shared responsibility here, and half that responsibility rests with management," Sauvé said in an interview. "Members fall through the cracks, are not contacted by their employer — sometimes for six months or longer — for return-to-work programs or disability management accommodation programs." The MAB report pointed to models used by other police forces to reduce pay for members on leave. For example, it said the Edmonton Police Service reduces pay to 90 per cent or 75 per cent, at the chief's discretion, after 85 days of sick leave. Sauvé countered that RCMP members are in a unique position as they fall outside of any provincial or territorial worker compensation scheme. He also said sick leave is something that must be decided through collective bargaining, and any proposal to modify it must be brought to the union. "So you can provide advice all you want to the RCMP commissioner. If they want to bring it to the bargaining table, they can." The RCMP said the board's report "is currently under comprehensive review," and it will deliver a more substantive response to the advisory body shortly. "The RCMP welcomes the MAB's engagement on this important issue, as the need to improve how the RCMP manages long term off-duty sick cases has been identified as a key area of concern by employees and by management at the RCMP," said spokesperson Camille Boily-Lavoie

Ontario hasn't given an opening date for Mississauga LRT since 2019, internal documents say
Social Sharing Ontario hasn't provided a public update on when a major Mississauga transit line will be completed in more than five years, according to internal documents, as work continues on the light-rail project originally set to open last fall. Premier Doug Ford's government first awarded a contract to build the Hurontario LRT in October 2020 and pegged the completion date to the fall of 2024. Partway through 2025, the line has yet to open. Documents obtained by CBC Toronto through a freedom of information request show that the province has not provided an updated timeline for completion of the work since 2019. The documents, intended to brief senior civil servants and the Transportation Minister on media requests about delays on the project, are partially redacted. They do not spell out why the line didn't hit its opening date or why the province has refused to provide an updated timeline to the public. "While the Province has not explicitly acknowledged a delay in project completion, Metrolinx has recently responded to media inquiries by saying, 'When construction nears completion and we move into the testing and commissioning phase, we will be in a better position to provide a specific opening date,'" civil servants write in a note dated November 2024. The Hurontario LRT, also called the Hazel McCallion LRT for the late former mayor of Mississauga, is an 18-kilometre line that will run through the heart of the city, from the foot of Lake Ontario to Brampton. Work has been underway on the project since summer 2020 and the cost has been estimated at $5.6 billion. WATCH | The Eglinton Crosstown LRT may be delayed once again: The Eglinton Crosstown LRT may be delayed once again 1 month ago Metrolinx says work continues on LRT project Metrolinx said in a statement work on an elevated guideway over the Highway 403 interchanges is moving ahead with all girders now installed. Track work on the line has finished at 34 of 55 intersections, with platforms at eight out of 19 stops now built, the agency said. But Metrolinx declined to offer an update on the timeline or reasons for the project delays, providing a nearly identical response to the messaging in the briefing note obtained by CBC Toronto. "Once construction nears completion and we move into the testing and commissioning phase, we will be in a better position to provide an approximate opening date," the agency said in a statement on Tuesday. Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria's office said in a statement that it will continue to push the contractor to finish work as quickly as possible, but offered no update on the timeline. "We won't compromise on safety," spokesperson Dakota Brasier said. "It is critical this line is safe and reliable when it opens on day one." Mississauga city councillor Alvin Tedjo said the construction has caused headaches for businesses and commuters along Hurontario Street, which is the "spine" of the city. Communication from Metrolinx about the project and its opening date has been vague, which further compounds years-long frustration, he said. "What we're receiving from Metrolinx is not enough clarity, not enough information," he said. Tedjo said councillors have been told by city staff that it could take several more years before the line is open. It's difficult to track progress on the project, and demand accountability from the government and its transit agency, when so little is known, he added. "We need to be accountable to ourselves and to the taxpayers, who are funding this project, to make sure that it's going to get done as close to as possible on time and on budget," he said. "Right now, that's not something that we see." Politicians press government for answers on LRT timeline Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie, who is the former mayor of Mississauga, said the pandemic caused some delays in construction but that can't be the only reason for missing the opening date last year. "There must be some significant delays," she said. "I would like to be holding this government accountable as to why we're experiencing (those) delays." NDP Leader Marit Stiles slammed the lack of transparency surrounding the opening date. Stiles said it's just the latest major transit project to blow through its projected start without an explanation from the government. "We've seen it right here in my riding of Davenport, where the Eglinton (Crosstown) LRT has been an absolute disaster," she said of the 25-stop Toronto line initially set to open in 2020 but still not yet operating. "I think we've seen so many taxpayer dollars wasted, so much delay and so few answers," she added. Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner said the documents obtained by CBC Toronto suggest the government is intentionally keeping quiet about delays surrounding the project and withholding its actual opening date. Mississauga residents deserve to know when the project will be completed and Ontario taxpayers deserve to know if costs have risen, he said. "We have to ask ourselves, why can't the Ford government get anything built?" he said. "When they can't get transit built, they're not honest with the people of Ontario about why it's not getting built, what the delays are, and why they're over budget." Transit planner David Cooper, principal of Leading Mobility Consulting, said he's not surprised by the shifting timelines on or the silence around them. A transit building boom is taking place across the country, which has increased demand for labour and planning expertise at the same time that supply chain problems have complicated the delivery of materials on those same projects, he said. Cooper said the government and Metrolinx are also trying to strike a delicate balance. Governments risk undermining public buy-in if they don't share enough information on construction progress, but can lose that support if they repeatedly miss opening dates. That's why they can tend to remain vague or silent on timelines, he said. "I think what we're seeing is that (governments) don't want to be held to a deadline they can't meet," he said. "You will never give that timeline until you're absolutely certain that that will occur."

Glengarry safety initiative shows crime is down, but agencies say lasting change takes time
It's been a year since Windsor police launched a multi-agency initiative to tackle crime in the Glengarry neighbourhood and while police statistics show significant improvement, community agencies say lasting change will take time. This week, Windsor police released numbers showing the initiative led to a 63 per cent decrease in drug crimes, a 45 per cent decrease in property crimes, a 38 per cent decrease in crimes against people, and a 14 per cent decrease in calls for service. Total arrests increased by 33 per cent. The initiative was launched a year ago after complaints about crime and disorder from Windsor-Essex Community Housing Corporation (WECHC) residents. Police set up a dedicated police office in Glengarry and partnered with 18 community groups including local hospitals, the Windsor Essex Community Health Centre, the Canadian Mental Health Association - Windsor-Essex County and Family Services Windsor-Essex to connect residents with health care, mental health supports and crime prevention resources. "There's been a definite improvement," said Jerrod Lafler, who has lived in the area for three years. He says he's noticed fewer people openly using drugs or trespassing in the neighbourhood. He also says he notices crime-related incidents from people outside the neighbourhood. But Michael Duke, a resident of six years, says he hasn't seen crime drop in his area at all. He points to frequent fights, ambulance calls, and drug-related issues in the community. "Why do we need to be in this mess? Why do we have to be forced to live in a place like this?" said Duke, adding that he believes crime has gotten worse since the city opened the Homelessness and Housing Help Hub (H4) service centre for people experiencing homelessness in the former Water World building in 2020. Residents feel disconnect Tenants are staying housed longer and buildings feel safer, but the area's proximity to downtown and the H4 centre means issues tied to homelessness and mental health still spill into the neighbourhood, says Nolan Goyette, the chief tenant services officer at WECHC. "I suspect that's what some of our tenants are seeing," said Goyette. Change takes time, more people reaching out for support Some residents may not feel things have gotten better as a whole but neighbourhood-wide change takes time, says Nicole Sbrocca, the CEO of CMHA Windsor-Essex. She says the initiative's biggest success has been in removing barriers for residents by bringing services directly in the neighbourhood. "What our services are seeing is more people are reaching out for support," Sbrocca said. She says since last year, the CHMA has held about seven large events plus ongoing smaller outreach. Each big event draws hundreds of residents, many accessing services for the first time. In July, they made 121 mental health and addictions referrals and set up 51 safety plans. "We're bringing primary care right into the community. So if you have an ailment, you can talk to a nurse. If you want to check your blood pressure, you're worried about diabetes, our team is there on site to do that for you," said Sbrocca. She also says the team has built trust in the community. "They will come up and say, 'I was here a few months back, this is what I need now,'" said Sbrocca. Initiative being replicated in other parts of Windsor Goyette says the initiative has laid the groundwork for long-term change and is already being replicated at other housing sites across Windsor-Essex. "Previously, there wasn't necessarily services directly on site that tenants could access in regular intervals," said Goyette. Now, he says, tenants are able to access up to 30 providers on site. He says the close proximity to H4 comes with challenges, and there needs to be more investments to address the city's homelessness population. "There's a more systematic change that's going to be needed before you know, we're going to see, I think that the level of change that maybe our tenants or the community wants to see," said Goyette. He says more organizations are also joining the effort, noting United Way will soon be based at 333 Glengarry.
