SEAN FRASER: Still Waiting: Justice Denied is Justice Delayed

Three months ago, on August 17, we sent an urgent letter to the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, demanding systemic reform for the RCMP and the Department of Justice.

Our letter detailed the devastating human cost of institutional failure, drawing on my experience as a former police informant in the Witness Protection Program and the accounts of former RCMP officers. We highlighted a pattern of betrayal, neglect, and lack of accountability for both those who serve and those who cooperate with Canada's justice system.

The core issues we raised aren't just about an ineffective Witness Protection Program. They are about a pervasive crisis:

• Inadequate Support: A consistent failure to provide long-term mental health and social support for those with trauma, including RCMP members facing high rates of PTSD.

• Institutional Betrayal: Allowing the RCMP to police itself, which prioritizes institutional image over the well-being of its people.

• "Lawfare": The Department of Justice's use of aggressive, procedural tactics to financially and emotionally exhaust critics and deny access to justice.

What was the response?

The Department of Justice simply forwarded our letter to the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety, citing that the RCMP falls under his purview.

While we appreciate the transfer and acknowledge that the RCMP is within the Public Safety portfolio, the core issues of access to justice and the Department of Justice's use of lawfare fall squarely on the Attorney General, Sean Fraser.

We made five specific demands for action, including an independent civilian review and a policy of compassionate resolution for claims.

It is now October 2025, and we are still waiting for a meaningful response from both Ministers, Sean Fraser and Gary Anandasangaree.
The integrity of our justice system and public trust are at stake. We need action, not just administrative deflection.
