Given the RCMP's admitted sorry record towards its own female members internally, one would think that they should be on board.

"To all the women who have been impacted by the force's failure to have protected your experience at work, and on behalf of every leader, supervisor or manager, every commissioner, I stand humbly before you today and solemnly offer our sincere apology," he said.

"You came to the RCMP wanting to personally contribute to your community and we failed you. We hurt you. For that, I'm truly sorry." ~ RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson Oct 16, 2016

The apology was accompanied by a settlement agreement respecting two class actions suits with allegations included rape, unwanted sexual touching, physical assault, sexist comments, threats, gender discrimination, harassment and bullying.
