Dear Minister Flemming,
1am writing to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated July 15th, 2021 in which you indicated having
lost confidence in RCMP Assistant Commissioner Tremblay as the Commanding Offcer of Division.
tis unfortunate that neither |, nor my management, were aware of any concerns regarding the
leadership of Assistant Commissioner Tremblay prior tothe receipt of your etter, a there may have
been an opportunity to proactively address some of the issues you've raised. That being said,
recognize that your decision was not arrived at without significant thought and consideration
Working constructively together, believe we can reach a positive resolution in a timely manner that will
ensure al partis involved are treated with respect and dignity. | am also confident this can be
accomplished without the requirement to invoke Article 7.4 of the Provincial Police Service Agreement.
Deputy Commissioner Brian Brennan, Contract and Indigenous Policing, has already personally spoken
with your Deputy Minister, Michael Comeau, and they have agreed to work collaboratively on ths
matter and any future requirements elated to the leadership of the RCMP in New Brunswick.
100k forward to our continued work on keeping the people of New Brunswick safe and secure.
Kindest regards,
Brenda Luck
Commissioner
