Parks Canada will pay $20 million to have 140 RCMP officers take over law enforcement duties from park wardens. Earlier this year, a Labour Canada safety officer decided that it was too dangerous for unarmed park wardens to continue doing law enforcement duties. Parks Canada decided against arming the wardens and chose to bring in the RCMP instead.
