Chronological Record
The Timeline of Non-Prosecution
2019
SNC-Lavalin — PM Interference in Criminal Prosecution
Ethics Commissioner finds PM violated Section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act
by pressuring the AG to offer SNC-Lavalin a DPA. Wilson-Raybould testified to 10+ instances
of pressure from 11 named officials.
RCMP: No charges laid against any political actor.
April 2020
NS Mass Casualty — Commissioner Lucki Interference
22 people killed. RCMP failed to issue emergency alert for 13 hours.
Four senior RCMP officers testified under oath that Commissioner Lucki pressured
investigators to release firearms information to support the government's gun control agenda.
RCMP: No charges against Commissioner Lucki. No internal discipline.
2019-2021
Foreign Election Interference — CSIS Warnings Ignored
CSIS confirmed foreign interference in both 2019 and 2021 elections.
Intelligence briefings reached the PMO. Hogue Commission found interference may have
affected results in 11 ridings. NSICOP identified MPs wittingly assisting foreign states.
RCMP: Zero charges for foreign interference in federal elections.
February 2022
Emergencies Act — Bank Accounts Frozen Without Warrants
210+ bank accounts frozen under Emergency Economic Measures Order.
No judicial authorization. Federal Court later ruled the invocation unreasonable
and Charter-violating (Sections 2 and 8).
RCMP: No charges for the illegal freezing of bank accounts.
2022-2024
ArriveCAN — $54M Procurement Fraud
Auditor General found systematic procurement failures. $54M to a
two-person firm. 76% of subcontractors did no work. Parliament voted 172-165 to
recover the funds — every Liberal MP voted against.
RCMP: No criminal charges for procurement fraud.
2023-2025
Chinese Police Stations — Illegal Operations on Canadian Soil
Investigations confirmed illegal Chinese police stations operating
in Canada, conducting surveillance and intimidation of diaspora communities. Multiple
locations documented by media and community groups.
RCMP: Investigations closed without laying a single charge.
June 2024 — Present
Bill C-70 Foreign Influence Registry — Zero Enforcement
The Countering Foreign Interference Act created a Foreign Influence
Transparency Registry. 650+ days since Royal Assent. The RCMP is responsible for
enforcement.
RCMP: Zero registrations. Zero enforcement actions. Zero charges.
2015-Present
CFNIS — Military Police Chain-of-Command Interference
Deschamps Report (2015) and Arbour Report (2022) both documented
systemic failures in military police investigations. Chain-of-command interference
in CFNIS investigations confirmed by MPCC reports.
RCMP/CFNIS: Zero senior officer convictions through military justice.
The Pattern Is Structural
Eight documented instances. Eight non-prosecutions. The RCMP consistently receives evidence
of criminal activity involving political actors and declines to lay charges. This is not
a resource issue — the RCMP has a $5.7B annual budget and 30,000+ employees. It is a
structural issue: the national police force reports to the government it would need to
investigate. When the subject of the investigation is also the employer, prosecution
becomes structurally impossible.
This is why the s.504 private prosecution
framework exists — it bypasses the RCMP entirely and places the Information directly
before a Justice of the Peace. And when the Crown stays the private prosecution (as it
inevitably will), that stay itself becomes the evidence for the
ICC complementarity argument.
