Best Answer

Because the RCMP, previously known as the RNWMP and the NWMP, were the paramilitary arm of the Confederation. Without them Canada would not have been able to take over Western Canada.

After 1919, their role expanded and their name changed to RCMP and they became Ottawa's police force all across the land, though not so much in the original province of Canada.
