RCMP boss apologizes, promises to pay for Mountie escort at his wedding
OTTAWA – RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson is apologizing for using on-duty Mounties as an honour guard at his wedding and says he’ll pay for their time.
Paulson married Erin O’Gorman at an Ottawa church Aug. 16, with red-coated constables from the Musical Ride on hand for the ceremony.
He says he had asked for some volunteers to participate and was not consulted about using on-duty Mounties.
He’s issued an apology to the officers and the public.
He also says he will pay $912 to cover three hours work for the eight constables.
