The Mounties' investigation comes after CBC News reported that at least 1,500 Canadian passports have been produced under a flawed new system that has opened the door to fraud and tampering.
Internal records from Citizenship and Immigration that were obtained by CBC/Radio-Canada revealed that the processing program was rushed into operation on May 9, 2015, despite dire warnings from senior officials that it was not ready and could present new security risks.
Another CBC story revealed that the government is bringing in major changes to the way Canadian passports are issued, changes that could speed up the renewal process but also invite forgery, fraud and identity theft at a time of heightened global security.
CPC security - worry abut the niqab, but passports, not so much.
