Politicians condemn RCMP questioning of Indigenous girl who reported sex assault
OTTAWA — Federal politicians are condemning a video of an RCMP officer conducting an “abhorrent” interrogation of an Indigenous teen who reported she’d been sexually assaulted.
Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett calls the interrogation “disgusting.”
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale calls the interrogation techniques shown in the video “abhorrent” and “profoundly outdated, offensive and wrong.”
And Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he was “shocked and horrified” by the video, broadcast Tuesday by APTN News.
