Defence Minister Anita Anand takes questions from the media on Monday as she reports to Parliament about the steps the government is — and is not — taking in response to a report released earlier this year that painted a damning portrait of the military's culture amid what experts have called a sexual misconduct "crisis."

Anand was expected to table her report to Parliament Monday afternoon, fulfilling one of the dozens of recommendations made by former Supreme Court of Canada justice Louise Arbour when she released her long-anticipated report into the culture of the Canadian military in May.

The review was formally launched a year before that — in May 2021 — in response to exclusive reporting by Global News into allegations of sexual misconduct in the highest ranks of the Canadian Armed Forces.

The report made 48 recommendations, charting out a new path to fundamentally change the way military sexual misconduct allegations are reported and handled, and to restore confidence in the Canadian Armed Forces.
