The RCMP says it's looking into whether it can automatically fire Mounties accused in multiple sexual harassment cases and stop other alleged perpetrators from retiring early.
The force says it's also seeking a legal opinion on whether it can fire Mounties found to have committed more than one act of harassment.
Both ideas come out of last winter's report by former Supreme Court of Canada justice Michel Bastarache, who was tasked with assessing claims made through a landmark sexual assault and harassment lawsuit. His scathing final report called for changes to the RCMP's culture and discipline methods.
