A pay hike is coming to R-C-M-P officers. The Treasury Board has approved a 1.25-per-cent wage increase retroactive to January 2015, and a further 1.25 per cent backdated to January 2016. Many Mounties will also receive a 2.3 per cent “market adjustment” increase starting next month. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says the hikes will bring total compensation for Mounties in line with eight police forces covering 90 per cent of the population.
