Pilots of Canada’s federal police force, the RCMP. flew planes loaded with too many passengers and too much baggage, and fudged the records, the public-sector watchdog says in a report released Tuesday (December 2).
Public Sector Integrity Commissioner Mario Dion found the RCMP pilots were “making false entries in aircraft journey log books and flying overweight, thus contravening paragraph 602.07(a) of the Canadian Aviation Regulations.”
The Canadian government had gone to Federal Court to try to prevent Dion from tabling his report, arguing it would undermine public confidence in the RCMP. The court dismissed the injunction motion.
