The RCMP has been ordered by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews to quickly rework a plan to address gender bias in the force.
In a letter obtained by CBC News, Toews is demanding that RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson rewrite a report addressing gender inequality in the force.
Toews expresses frustration that he did not receive an action plan from Paulson that "we (you and I, the RCMP and the Government) could present to Canadians." Instead, Toews only received an analysis of the existing situation within the force.
Toews calls for a plan with "specific, objectively measurable, milestones" to be sent to him by Dec. 11.
Toews says the RCMP needs to recruit more women, with the goal of having women make up at least 30 per cent of the force. He also wants to see more women promoted within the RCMP's ranks.
Currently, there are about 15,000 male and about 4,000 female officer. The majority of the women officers have lower ranks.
Toews also says the RCMP needs to reduce the number of harassment complaints, and address any complaints more quickly.
Paulson has often spoke about his commitment to end sexual harassment in the force, and to hire and promote more women.
But Toews is demanding Paulson take action on those comments.
"The time for review and report ... has passed," wrote Toews. "Now is the time for action."
