"The formal parameters of the Commission’s public interest investigation,
conducted by an experienced and independent investigator, were as follows:
whether the RCMP members or other persons appointed or employed
under the authority of the RCMP Act involved in the events of
December 2, 2008, from the moment of the initial call to the RCMP for
assistance, through to the subsequent death of John Andrew Simon,
complied with all appropriate training, policies, procedures, guidelines and
statutory requirements relating to responding to persons believed to be
suicidal, barricaded within a premises, or otherwise potentially of a
high-risk nature;
whether the RCMP national, divisional and detachment-level policies,
procedures and guidelines relating to the manner in which the RCMP
responds to persons believed to be suicidal, barricaded within a premises,
or otherwise potentially of a high-risk nature, are adequate; and
whether the RCMP members involved in the investigation of this incident
conducted an investigation that was adequate, and free of actual or
perceived conflict of interest, whether they responded appropriately and
proportionately to the gravity of the incident, whether they responded in a
timely fashion and whether their conduct adhered to the standards set out
in section 37 of the RCMP Act."--Pages 1-2.
