Swann's lawyer, Sebastien Anderson, said he was shocked to learn that Callens had been hired to investigate allegations of abuse and exploitation in junior hockey. The issue of harassment and abuse of female officers and civilian employees has dogged the RCMP in recent years. "When I see him investigating harassment and abuse and negligence in the WHL, I become angry, and you can quote me on that," Galliford told CBC News. The RCMP commissioner at the time was Bob Paulson, who also retired last year. Robison, the WHL commissioner, declined through a spokesperson to comment on the allegations levelled by Swan and Galliford.
