Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said on Friday he was "very troubled" to watch the of an RCMP officer tackling and punching Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam during an arrest in March.

Scheer said there is an investigation going on and “it would be inappropriate” for him to further comment.

However, Scheer said he supports supports measures to install equipment like body cameras to ensure officers who act inappropriately face consequences.

The Conservative leader reacted to recent comments made by RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki when she said she is "struggling with definition of systemic racism" by saying there is a huge backlog of complaints against the RCMP in this regard.

He added that Trudeau’s government "has done nothing to clear that backlog” for years and that if Trudeau is admitting there is systemic racism in the RCMP then he must take responsibility and act to address it.
