The Supreme Court of Canada has rejected the federal government's attempt to stop a massive class-action lawsuit against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from going ahead.
The two lead plaintiffs, veteran RCMP members Geoffrey Greenwood and Todd Gray, allege "systemic negligence" in how the national police force has handled bullying and harassment allegations.
A Federal Court judge certified their lawsuit — which is seeking more than $1.1 billion — as a class action in 2020. Last fall, another judge dismissed the Crown's arguments seeking to de-certify the class-action claim.
