Communities across Canada face similar bills
The Town of Cornwall, P.E.I., has not yet made any plans to pay almost $125,000 in backpay for RMCP services, still hopeful some other solution can be found.
The backpay is part of a collective agreement the federal government signed with the National Police Federation. Municipalities had been hoping last month’s federal budget would include money to cover the backpay, but instead municipalities were given two years to cover the retroactive costs.
