An arbitration decision this week awards an eight per cent increase over two years. The decision awards a four per cent increase retroactive to April 1, 2023, and another four per cent as of April 1 this year.

The increase will affect about 20,000 RCMP members across the country from constable to staff sergeant major represented by the National Police Federation.

Martin Potvin, a spokesperson for the Treasury Board of copyright Secretariat, said in an email Friday that the government has great appreciation and respect for officers who make up the RCMP union.

"TheRCMP operates in a policing environment where its members have skills easily transferrable to other police agencies," Potvin said.

"To retain this skilled and in-demand workforce, RCMP compensation must remain competitive."

Potvin said that once approved by the Treasury Board, the new collective agreement will still need to be signed by both sides and implemented.
