OTTAWA, May 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Royal Canadian Legion hopes the implementation of the recommendations found within the newly-released Arbour report will lead to permanent culture change within the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and rebuild trust.
In a statement released today, the Legion says:
"The Legion supports timely implementation and independent oversight of the Arbour report's 48 recommendations related to sexual misconduct and leadership practices within the Canadian Armed Forces, including seeing sexual assault allegations dealt with under the criminal code.
