Please try again 'The RCMP is, and has been, proud to deliver policing services that reflect the priorities and needs of communities across Alberta,' he wrote, referencing an article of the Provincial Police Service Agreements which he said leaves establishing the objectives, priorities, and goals up to the provincial minister. He also echoed earlier criticism from the National Police Federation, the union representing RCMP members, of a line in the video ahead of the Alberta Next survey that states, 'because of French-language requirements, English-speaking Alberta officers do not qualify for senior RCMP positions.' Last month, the NPF told Postmedia that claim was 'misinformation,' with Duheme writing that 'all commissioned officer positions in Alberta are designated as English essential and staffed accordingly. The office of Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis disputes that, stating that 'all deputy and assistant commissioner positions in Ottawa are designated bilingual, as are senior positions held by civilians within senior staff,' adding, 'the RCMP is wrong.' Smith used similar language when questioned about the RCMP's bilingualism requirements at last week's Alberta Next townhall in Edmonton. Duheme's letter also disputes the video's statement that officers can be moved 'on a moment's notice,' writing, 'the process to relocate a member includes careful planning to support them and their families should they choose to pursue another opportunity.' Finally, his letter objects to language used in a FAQ portion of the panel's website, which states the RCMP major crimes division would not need to be replaced in the event of a provincial police service, reading, ''K' division would still be doing the Federal Policing around investigative matters that meet their mandate like counter-terrorism and nationwide gang activity.'

'I would like to clarify that in the context of a transition, the RCMP would retain responsibility for investigating criminal activity that poses the highest threat to Canada through its federal policing mandate. The responsibility for major crimes investigations (e.g. homicides) would be retained by the incoming police of jurisdiction.' Ellis' office said in a statement that police staffing remains an issue, with vacancy rates nearing 40 per cent in some municipalities, resulting in gaps in service that undermine public service. 'Alberta's government has raised these concerns repeatedly, and while we appreciate efforts to improve recruitment and retention, the pace of progress has not matched the urgency of the issue.' It also pointed to a March white paper from Public Safety Canada which calls for an evolution of Ottawa's role in supporting provinces in delivery of police services, including a transition away from contract policing when Police Services Agreements expire in seven years time. 'While no final decision has been announced, Alberta's government cannot afford to wait until 2032 to begin planning,' the statement from Ellis' office reads. The Alberta Next survey touts the need to improve local accountability, boost officer recruitment, and heighten safety in rural communities. The survey on policing was one of three altered last week to include more options to express opposition to the ideas pitched by Alberta Next after widespread criticism of the online polls that had already been open since June 24.
