Mounties still probing pension allegations: acting commissioner
CBC News · Posted: Apr 26, 2007 8:15 AM ET | Last Updated: April 26, 2007 The Mounties are still investigating whether people can be punished over the pension scandal and are taking steps to ensure officers' concerns are dealt with more quickly in the future, the acting RCMP commissioner says.related life and disability insurance plan between 2000 and 2003.
Beverly Busson made the comments Wednesday before a parliamentary committee examining the administration of the RCMP pension and insurance funds.
No one has been formally disciplined for the alleged mismanagement of funds, nepotism in hiring,expense account abuses and contracting irregularities by civilian members of the police force administering the RCMP's $12-billion pension fund and a
Busson, who took over on an interim basis after Giuliano Zaccardelli resigned last December, said a lot has changed since she first appeared before the Commons committee at the end of February.
"When I first came to this new position and was briefed around the issues, I had a certain opinion about what was happening but since I've heard people's testimony, I've come to a different conclusion," she said.
Questions over investigator's removal
At that first committee meeting, Busson was accompanied by deputy commissioner Barbara George, who was asked why the lead investigator, Staff Sgt. Mike Frizzell, was pulled off the criminal investigation into what went wrong with the pension plan.
George said she had nothing to do with his removal, but assistant commissioner Darrell LaFosse said that wasn't true.
"I read that portion of the testimony, and shortly after that I bumped into Chief Supt. Fraser Macaulay and my question to him, rhetorically, was, 'Why would she lie?' " LaFosse said.
He said George called him directly and said she was upset with Frizzell's actions and wanted him moved off the case.
George has adamantly denied any wrongdoing and says she's sure her name will be cleared.
Busson said the accusations of a coverup are hurting the Mounties' image and added she was distressed to see her officers fighting in public.
Since the allegations came to light, Busson has suspended George, ordered a code of conduct investigation, initiated an outreach program for employees and formed a team to support the ongoing ministerial inquiry into the pension mess.
Since taking over after Zaccardelli's resignation, Busson said she's also deactivated the remote control door Zaccardelli used to signal when he wanted people to leave his office.

I would sent an order to call everyone’s name from this new article and ask them was it Larose or Lafose?
Beverly Busson
Giuliano Zaccardelli
Barbara George
Staff Sgt. Mike Frizzell
Darrell Larose - LaFosse
Chief Supt. Fraser Macaulay
I know Kerry Chawtin is retired RCMP, I have proof.
He bragged about his pension to the other parents, he is getting 6 grand a month. He bragged about going to Bosnia, he complained about his alcoholic wife. And as soon as he left the table, everyone bad mouthed him..
I liked Kerry..I didn’t bad mouth him. He was always on edge though, his demons were front and centre. I hope someday he offers me a full confession,
as scoooby do on twitter he said to me
"I wrote an egregious letter against his employer and a journalist with a vendetta published it and as soon as he is finished with his current job, he may write a book about it...”
While we were chatting on Twitter, Scooby due made a post on usenet to connect me back here.
Did you know, the threads I post to garner way more attention than anyone else?
People like the truth and are sick of lies.
A full confession today would be appreciated..If you are anonymous and have no fear..then today is the day to use your anonymity to confess..
