Thanks Matt - this is quite a ridiculous situation, by a gov't that can't make decisions. I would love to see whatever documentation you have (I put a PDF of my documentation in the column itself). You seem to have more current numbers than I do. I commend you for staying on top of this file. - Dean
According to the records produced to me from a recent ATIP request, the 1,800 vehicles currently being stored in four provinces by Public Services & Procurement Canada, on behalf of the RCMP, is costing the RCMP over $600,000 per year in storage fees. I've been working on a project for months to have a number of these vehicles repurposed to emergency services agencies in Ukraine (where vehicles are desperately needed..... to save lives). The response I received from the RCMP Commissioner in May was that "the vehicles cannot be sent to Ukraine due to health & safety concerns related to the vehicles themselves".... meanwhile, the RCMP wants to return to selling these vehicles at public auction?
This is just 1,800 of the estimated 7000+ decommissioned RCMP vehicles currently sitting in storage. It would also appear that the RCMP has been paying to crush quite a few of these vehicles lately.

Well done again, Dean. I hope this produces some action.
