Canada's Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan responded on Tuesday to the Third Independent Review of the National Defence Act, and the associated recommendations made.
Sajjan said he "welcomes" the findings of Justice Morris Fish’s review and has accepted all 107 recommendations in principle.
He added that a review of the recommendations will be done and that the Canadian Armed Forces will implement 36 of them in the short term while reviewing the others.
Sajjan appointed Justice Fish in November 2020 to lead a review into the military justice system and how it can be made better.
The system has long been criticized for failing to take sexual misconduct allegations seriously enough, but reporting by Global News earlier this year into allegations of high-level sexual misconduct have sparked an institutional crisis for the Canadian Forces.
