Trudeau said that the matter has been discussed with the Cabinet and the Royal Mounted Police, and that joint efforts must be made to accelerate the changes within the Royal Mounted Police. He said that this week he will discuss with all provinces and regions about the provision of law enforcement recorders to advance as soon as possible. The authorities will also be concerned about improving the police work of the indigenous communities.
The wave of protests caused by the white African policeman "Kneeling" by American African-American man George Freud has recently spread to cities in Canada. While protesting against racism and discrimination, the public also criticized the police for improper law enforcement and other acts.
Recently, Canadian media and social networking platforms have exposed multiple incidents of black or indigenous people suspected of being treated unfairly by the police.

Trudeau said that while opposing racism and unconscious prejudice, the reality in Canada is that many people are not protected by the police and are afraid of them. He once again promised to work to correct long-standing injustice, exclusion and violence.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said on the evening of the 8th that it will gradually provide police officers with law enforcement recording cameras.
Toronto Mayor John Tory said in an interview with the media that the city's police are expected to begin equipping law enforcement recorders as early as this summer.
Police across Canada are generally not equipped with law enforcement recorders. Calgary is an exception. About 1,100 frontline police officers in the city have been wearing law enforcement recorders since August last year. Canadian media reports believe that the high cost is the main obstacle to the implementation of law enforcement recorders.
In addition, Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders (Mark Saunders) announced on the 8th that he will end his term at the end of July. He has worked in the police force for 37 years and originally planned to step down next year, explaining that he hopes to spend more time with his family.

On June 5th, when an anti-racist demonstration marched in Toronto, Sanders and other high-ranking police officers kneeled down on the street with the marchers to express their support. This move caused widespread media attention. (Finish)
