The Canadian Armed Forces will review an internal military police process after a recent decision to rescind the appointment of a high-ranking military police officer as chief warrant officer of the Military Police Branch.The head of Canada's military justice system has revoked his appointment of a high-ranking military police officer who faced sanctions three years ago for making sexual comments about three women at a Christmas policing function.
Lacoste attended a Christmas policing dinner and dance at an off-base golf club in December 2017, when he was age 43 and a master warrant officer, one rank below his current one. In the statement of facts, Lacoste agreed that he commented on a junior female sergeant who was wearing a low-cut dress. "On the contrary, he appeared obviously drunk in the eyes of subordinates and civilians and indulged in remarks that undermined the dignity of people and the promotion of stereotypes which obviously cannot be tolerated within a disciplined military organization concerned with respect for the dignity of every person," Pelletier said.
