 The police opposition to Premier Rae's mandatory reporting of weapon unholstering legislation culminated in a job action initiated by Police Association president Art Lymer on October 5, 1992, which spread to a "Blue Ribbon Campaign" by December of that year.McCormack tried unsuccessfully to convince Lymer to drop the campaign and when he was unsuccessful, Eng wanted McCormack fired.The rank-and-file strongly supported McCormack in this dispute, and a group of officers who had set up a vigil for one of their own killed on duty booed Eng when she showed up.
