Brian McAdam & Ex-RCMP Cpl. Robert Read Seeking Reinstatement

Whistleblower & Ex-RCMP Cpl. Robert Read Seeking Reinstatement in Canada's Highest Court


RCMP whistle-blower appeals dismissal for revealing fraud Andy Blatchford, Apr. 13, 05

A Mountie fired by the RCMP in 1999 for breaking an oath of secrecy is seeking reinstatement in Canada's highest court. The appeal of Corporal Robert Read will be heard by the Federal Court of Canada on April 18. In 2003, an external review committee recommended that Cpl. Read be reinstated. But the RCMP has refused to let the 26-year veteran return to the force. . . . . The suspicion of a cover-up prompted Cpl. Read to blow the whistle. He revealed evidence of a cover-up to the media and the RCMP immediately suspended him with pay in September, 1999. A 2002 RCMP tribunal ruled he was guilty of professional misconduct, which led to his dismissal.

Search: "Introduction" -- second paragraph, which follows:

For Canadians, there are questions still lingering concerning an investigation into visas for Canada missing from the Canadian Embassy in Hong Kong, "entrepreneur" and "investor" class immigration of Chinese with huge amounts of money, and the entry of Chinese triads to Canada. However, the investigation into the visa issue and immigration by the CSIS and the RCMP appears to have been ended by someone very influential and powerful in Canada -- although there were and are unanswered questions concerning serious security issues -- similar issues involving the same players which the US has been investigating, as well. Then, there was the dismissal of the whistleblower, RCMP Corporal Robert Read -- and there is much more [. . . . ]

Fired Mountie takes corruption fight to Federal Court

[. . . . ] In the course of his investigation he believed he’d uncovered evidence of the corruption and what appeared to him to be a massive cover-up of that evidence.

Read’s investigation involved very rich and powerful members of the business community in Hong Kong, political connections in the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the government of then-Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, himself now the subject of other corruption allegations and being investigated in the Gomery Inquiry taking place in Ottawa and Montreal.
