The senior officer who relayed a misconduct complaint against Canada's top commander testified Friday that the military's reporting process is "discouraging and disappointing," and on one occasion resulted in his being scolded for doing his duty.
Trotter described pinballing back and forth on Feb. 4 between the military's sexual-misconduct response centre and what he understood to be the defense minister's office — though he may been speaking with Defense Department bureaucrats — finding there was no appropriate authority to relay his concerns to.
Each referred him to the other to lodge the complaint, he said, with apparent confusion over whether the response centre was a place to report misconduct or a broader victim-support resource.
