## Resource

Canada’s premiers are demanding urgent federal action on the RCMP’s future, pushing for immediate negotiations as current contracts expire in 2032. Provinces need time to plan for staffing, infrastructure, and budgets amid rising costs and mounting shortages — and they’re not waiting for vague signals. With some regions like Alberta eyeing their own police forces and B.C. already running its own municipal force in Surrey, the pressure mounts. The RCMP’s ongoing struggles with slow recruitment, burnout, and operational strain underscore the need for real reform — and the federal auditor is watching closely.
