“The MAB provides advice to the RCMP Commissioner on the administration and management of the RCMP, including: // transformation and modernization plans // the effective and efficient use of RCMP resources // actions to take to reduce corporate risks // policies and management controls to support RCMP operations // corporate and strategic plans, including financial and human resource strategies // operating and capital budgets // MAB members bring diverse perspectives and guidance to help the RCMP address many of the measures it has implemented as part of Vision150. MAB members must consider the impacts of their actions and recommendations on diverse groups of people who may experience intersecting identity factors. These may include but are not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, age and disability.”

“The MAB continues to advise the RCMP on its modernization efforts. To date, it has focused on providing guidance to improve the RCMP’s workplace culture. This included significant input into the renewal of the RCMP core values and the creation of an organizational values statement, and advice to help increase the recruitment of Indigenous regular members. The MAB meets four times annually, has two standing committees and taskforces focused on specific issues, which meet throughout the year. // Recently, the MAB’s Training and Education Taskforce focused on the Cadet Training Program and completed a two-day visit to the RCMP’s training facility, known as Depot, in April 2022. They met with the Commanding Officer, the curriculum design team, course facilitators and cadets. The Board will share their finding and corresponding recommendations in a formal report to the RCMP Commissioner in June 2022. // In December 2021, the Prime Minister mandated the Minister of Public Safety to further enhance the MAB to create an oversight role over the RCMP in line with other Canadian police services. In May 2022, the Minister mandated the Commissioner to ensure the MAB is fully supported as it takes on a greater oversight role.”
