Retired Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour has told the federal government to 'immediately' transfer all criminal cases involving allegations of sexual misconduct in the military to civilian authorities.
OTTAWA -- Retired Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour has told the federal government to "immediately" transfer all criminal cases involving allegations of sexual misconduct in the military to civilian authorities.
The letter comes six months after the Liberal government tapped Arbour to come up with ways to address sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces, which has been battered with allegations against numerous top officers. Arbour is the second retired Supreme Court justice to have called for the military to transfer criminal cases involving sexual misconduct to civilian authorities since June, when Morris Fish made a similar recommendation following a comprehensive review of the military justice system.
