RCMP Watch

Wayne Easter says the RCMP didn’t tell him they had given erroneous information to US authorities about Maher Arar.

The former Liberal Solicitor General contradicted the RCMP Commissioner while appearing before a Commons Committee.

Easter said he wasn’t informed the RCMP wrongly labelled Arar an “Islamic extremist.”

RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli told the same committee he learned of the mistake shortly after Arar was shipped to Syria in the fall of 2002.
