In 2015, former Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps released a major report on sexual misconduct in the Canadian Forces. It described a “hostile sexualized environment” in the military, particularly among recruits and the junior ranks, which included everything from swearing and sexual innuendo to “dubious relationships” between junior female staff and high-ranking men. It also included rape. Has anything changed since the Deschamps report? On the Defence Watch podcast, the Ottawa Citizen's David Pugliese discusses this with women's rights advocate Julie Lalonde and lawyer and retired Col. Michel Drapeau.
