TORONTO The federal Conservatives and NDP are venting frustrations after a debate on whether to call Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s chief of staff to testify in the Gen. Jonathan Vance investigation was abruptly cancelled on Monday. Debate into whether to call Katie Telford to answer questions regarding the government’s handling of the allegations against Vance began on Friday, but was suspended after the Liberal members of the defence committee talked out the clock. The debate was to resume on Monday, but opposition members were notified before the meeting that it had been cancelled. All that we got was a last-minute notice that the meeting was cancelled with no explanation, NDP defence critic Randall Garrison told The Canadian Press. And no timeline for resuming. The official website still says Friday s meeting is suspended and doesn t say anything else about that.

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.
