The intelligence review agency recommended that in cases where an RCMP assistant commissioner disagrees with a committee's recommendation not to share information, the case be automatically referred to the force's commissioner. Details of the case, including the foreign entity involved, were stripped from the version of the report made public Thursday.
The assistant commissioner reasoned, in part, that the RCMP should consider the consequences of not sharing, as this would be detrimental for the relationship, adding that "engagement ... will give insight and influence."
