Lilley: Over the weekend, Maj.-Gen. Peter Dawe was relieved of his post at the top of Canada’s Special Forces over his handling of a sexual assault case.
Dawe’s offence is that he wrote a letter of reference for a subordinate convicted of sexual assault against another member of the Forces. The current command is taking a dim view of his actions and has put the general on paid leave while they consider the situation. It is a sign the military brass is taking the issue of sexual misconduct of any type much more seriously.
Too bad that isn’t happening with the political bosses the military reports to.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan and all of their top officials remain in their jobs despite turning a blind eye to sexual misconduct complaints in the military.
