The RCMP is facing four charges under the federal labour code after an investigation into the 2014 shootings by Justin Bourque in Moncton that left three Mounties dead, and three others injured.
In a statement, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson says the charges under the Canada Labour Code relate to equipment, training and supervision.
Any time a federal employee dies on the job, there is an investigation by Employment and Social Development Canada.
Paulson says RCMP will be examining the substance of these charges carefully before making any decisions.
