Sajjan defends Liberal handling of military misconduct as committee shuts down probe

Global News published this video item, entitled “Sajjan defends Liberal handling of military misconduct as committee shuts down probe” – below is their description.

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan faced hard questions Monday about the federal Liberals’ handling of allegations of high-level sexual misconduct in the Canadian Forces, after the Liberals voted to shut down a defence committee probe into the allegations.

“Our government, and me personally, will not stand for any form of sexual misconduct,” Sajjan said, adding that they will “take strong action on this.”

Liberal and Bloc Quebecois MPs voted together in favour of the Liberal motion that was leaked to Global News over the weekend, while Conservative and NDP MPs voted against the motion.

Global News first reported on Feb. 2 that Gen. Jonathan Vance is facing allegations of inappropriate behaviour with two female subordinates. Military police announced they were opening an investigation shortly after that report and later that same month, military police also announced an investigation into Vance’s successor as chief of the defence staff, Adm. Art McDonald.
