Today, the Government of Canada announced that it has reached a tentative agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), Local 104 for the Police Operations Support (PO) group.

“Both parties came to the table willing to work on key priorities for the Police Operations Support group, and we have reached a tentative agreement that is fair to employees and reasonable for Canadians. I would like to thank CUPE Local 104 for their collaboration at the bargaining table.” 

    - The Honourable Mona Fortier, President of the Treasury Board 

“This is an important day for our employees in the PO Group and the RCMP looks forward to continuing our positive and collaborative working relationship with CUPE Local 104 to advance a shared interest – ensuring our employees are supported so that they can do their best work for Canadians.”

    - Mike Duheme, RCMP Commissioner
