OTTAWA --
The federal defence minister says what was known in March 2018 about the nature of the complaint levied against former defence chief Gen. Jonathan Vance “does not matter.”
In an interview on CTV’s Question Period airing Sunday, Harjit Sajjan says what’s of more value is the steps that were taken after the report was brought to light by former military ombudsman Gary Walbourne.
“It does not matter what the complaint actually was, a complaint was brought forward about the chief of defence staff, and at that time what we needed to do was take immediate action so that could be looked into properly, and that was done,” said Sajjan.
