“In May 2023 the first External Monitor Report concluded there has been a ‘significant level of tangible activity,’ but also that ‘there is no overall framework that sets out how the organization, as a whole, will move from one phase to the next. // Of those recommendations underway, most do not have a clear timeline for completion and are associated with calls for further reviews, more research, and more working groups.”

« Mais l’armée n’a pas encore changé, soutient Stéphanie Raymond en entrevue : les rapports sur les inconduites sexuelles dans l’armée se suivent et sont toujours aussi accablants. Elle parle du rapport Deschamps de 2015, et de celui de l’ex-juge de la Cour suprême Louise Arbour, rendu pas plus tard que l’an dernier. Cette dernière demande le transfert de tout dossier d’agression sexuelle au sein de l’armée vers des autorités civiles. Elle brandit aussi la nécessité de profonds changements dans les façons de faire des Forces. »

« Les militaires pourront dorénavant porter plainte pour inconduite sexuelle, harcèlement ou discrimination directement auprès de la Commission canadienne des droits de la personne, a annoncé mardi le gouvernement. […] L’ancienne juge de la Cour suprême Louise Arbour avait recommandé ce changement dans son rapport de mai 2022 sur l’inconduite sexuelle et la culture toxique au sein des forces armées. »

« Sur les 190 plaintes reçues au total depuis décembre 2021, moins de la moitié ont été transférées à la police civile, soit 93, a indiqué le brigadier général Simon Trudeau, Grand Prévôt des Forces armées canadiennes, dans une déclaration écrite vendredi. »

“Arbour delivered her scathing indictment to the House of Commons defence committee six months after issuing dozens of recommendations to improve the military’s handling of inappropriate and criminal sexual behaviour. // Her testimony coincided with an update from Defence Minister Anita Anand on the progress on those recommendations, all of which have now been accepted. // While Arbour acknowledged some positive steps, such as the appointment of an external monitor to keep tabs on the military’s progress, she was exceedingly critical on many other fronts. // Chief among them was what she saw as resistance to one of her key recommendations: That the Canadian Armed Forces be permanently stripped of its jurisdiction over the investigation and prosecution of sexual assault and other related crimes.”

“As outlined in the report, Minister Anand has rejected none of the 48 recommendations that Madame Arbour has made and has directed DND/CAF to move forward on all of them. The report also outlines the work that has been taken to implement the 17 recommendations that were immediately directed for implementation upon receipt in May, the steps that will be undertaken to address the remaining 31 recommendations, as well as ongoing and forthcoming DND/CAF initiatives that will further advance culture change within the institution.”
