3/8 #RCMP claims I inv'd A/Comm Shean in early May. I interviewed Shean on April 7. I only got the wellness report last week.

4/8 The April interview was a conversation about recent regulatory changes to witness protection, not harassment.

5/8 #RCMP claims Shean was prepared to do a second interview...I asked for an interview on May 16th and was refused.

6/8 On May 16, I asked #RCMP if Shean initiated harassment investigation. Only today it confirmed investigation launched March 16.

7/8 On May 16 I asked #RCMP if an investigation initiated, who would conduct. Now it said reps independent from witness programare doing it

8/8 On May 16 I asked #RCMP when Shean first learned of harassment allegations. No response. I said summer. Today #RCMP said it was in Oct

At the end of the day, #RCMP is yet again investigating workplace harassment inside RCMP. That is what I reported.
