RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson is admitting he approved a complaint against a B.C.-based psychologist that led to allegations that the force breached the medical privacy of five Mounties.

Just days after 16x9’s story on a 2012 privacy breach in the RCMP, the National Police Force is being accused of misrepresenting the facts of the case in an email to its membership.

A group of Mounties has filed a lawsuit against the RCMP, alleging their medical records were obtained by their employer and shared outside the organization without consent.
