British Columbia will appoint a special prosecutor to review discrepancies in testimony at the Braidwood inquiry, the province has just announced.
In a statement, Attorney-General and Solicitor-General Mike de Jong pointed to the report’s findings that “a number of discrepancies between what RCMP officers told investigators in 2008 and what came out at the inquiry” as the rationale for the appointment of a special prosecutor.
The province will also move to enact a key recommendation of the Braidwood inquiry, saying it will launch within a year a new civilian-led investigations unit that will be able to conduct criminal investigations into any police-related incidents involving death or serious harm.

The bad day for the RCMP was that day back in 2007 when they tasered Dziekanski to death.
This is a good day for the RCMP, as the truth is coming out, and proper action can be taken.
