Federal leaders were united Tuesday in welcoming Lt.-Gen. Frances Allen as Canada’s first female deputy military commander, but remained at odds over the Liberal government’s response to allegations of misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces.
Yet even as they lauded Allen’s appointment, O’Toole and Singh continued to stress the importance of continued action against sexual misconduct in the military while taking shots at the Liberal government’s handling of such incidents at the top.
Singh said, “But the toxic culture won’t be fixed by one appointment. And the problem is that what happened recently cannot be ignored, the impact that has had on women in the military.”
