‘Bring her back to us': List of public figures demanding answers over Rhonda Blackmore's removal grows larger
WATCH: Regina MP Michael Kram is the latest to demand answers on why Rhonda Blackmore was removed as Sask. RCMP head. Wayne Mantyka reports. The list of public officials demanding answers on why Rhonda Blackmore was removed as the head of the Saskatchewan RCMP is continuing to grow. Regina Wascana MP Michael Kram is arguing that the secrecy around her removal is unfair to both her and the public. Over a month has now passed since Blackmore was relieved of command of RCMP F Division without public explanation. 'Well, I just think it's totally unacceptable for Ms. Blackmore's reputation and career to be ruined as a result of anonymous complaints,' Kram told CTV News Monday. 'So, I feel it's time for the Minister of Public Safety to come clean to start providing some answers. Not only for Ms. Blackmore, but for the general public as well.' So far, there has been no response from the RCMP or the federal government. Earlier, the Government of Saskatchewan wrote to the federal Minister of Public Safety – raising concerns over the removal. 'The concern that was raised was quite simply that we lost our commanding officer of F Division and have very few details around that and it's been quite some time since that removal,' Saskatchewan's Minister of Corrections and Public Safety Tim McLeod told reporters on July 8. Blackmore has since been reassigned and is serving as the RCMP's Assistant Commissioner for Indigenous and Support Services. The FSIN has called for her reinstatement in Saskatchewan. 'We hope they reinstate her or bring her back to us where she can have that relationship,' FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron told CTV News on July 13. 'Maybe having her in these detachments, overseeing these investigations, to communicate with First Nations. Right now, there's mistrust. We don't trust, we don't trust the current system.' The provincial government is currently awaiting a response from Ottawa. Meanwhile, Kram says if he doesn't get an answer, he'll be raising the matter in the House of Commons.
