Commissioner and Intervention of the External Review Committee
(Level II)
A member who is not satisfied with the Level I decision of the Adjudicator can ask that his grievance be referred to Level II. For subject matters defined in section 36 of the Regulations, the Commissioner constitutes Level II. Prior to making a decision, he must refer the file to the Committee. Again, the findings and recommendations of the Committee are not binding on the Commissioner but, if he rejects them, he must provide written reasons.
Intervention of the Federal Court of Canada
The Commissioner of the RCMP is an agent created by a federally enacted statute and, as such, falls under the jurisdiction of the Federal Court pursuant to the Federal Courts Act. If a member of the RCMP is dissatisfied with a final ruling of the Commissioner, that member may apply to the Federal Court (Trial Division) for a review of the decision.
