The Commission of Inquiry Concerning Certain Activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (French: Commission d'enquête sur certaines activités de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada), better known as the McDonald Commission (French: Commission McDonald), was a Royal Commission called by the Canadian government of Pierre Trudeau to investigate the Royal Canadian Mounted Police after a number of illegal activities by the RCMP Security Service came to light in the 1970s. The Commission, Judge David Cargill McDonald, was established on 6 July 1977 and issued its final report in 1981.
