Summary

"As has been outlined throughout the Commission’s report, the actions of RCMP members in the context of the 2010 G8 and G20 Summits were, in a general sense, reasonable and appropriate. Planning was thorough, and the structure of intelligence operations and use made of gathered information were appropriate, with attention paid to ensuring the rights of demonstrators. No incidents of unreasonable force by RCMP members were identified. The involvement of RCMP POUs in the kettling of individuals downtown was found by the Commission to be reasonable; while kettling itself is inconsistent with RCMP policy, the POUs reasonably acted pursuant to the direction of another police agency."--Conclusion.
