When Commissioner Roger Salhany said the force bungled the investigation, it was the final straw for the government. The NDP's Dave Chomiak as Justice minister saw fit to torpedo the whole department.
While some in both the Winnipeg and East St. Paul Police have a lot to answer for, the turnover of the East St. Paul Police to the RCMP is probably wrongheaded. Certainly East St. Paul needs reform but the RCMP is likely not to be as responsive for future needs and it is probably going to be more expensive in the end.
The Commissioner's report had many other things to say. The Taman family feels vindicated but it is still a sad that it took this long to bring some action.
The one problem with the government's response is that it might not solve anything and in fact, might make it worse.
