Creation of a Reserve Force for the RCMP
In Ottawa the Commons debated a plan to create a volunteer reserve of 300 men aged 18 to 40 to bolster the RCMP during emergencies with training capped at three months yearly. Critics labeled the proposal civilian vigilantes and storm troopers while urging expansion of the permanent force instead. The minister argued the reserve would cost about 80,000 dollars annually versus 500,000 to enlarge the permanent force.
