The Canadian Armed Forces ombudsman released a scathing indictment on Tuesday, raising the spectre of political interference in the work of his office at a time when the military is under intense public scrutiny over allegations of high-level sexual misconduct.

Gregory Lick accused political leaders of “turning a blind eye” to his office’s recommendations, and suggested his office should be removed from under the authority of the minister of national defence.

Lick said that because his office’s existence is not enshrined in law, every ombudsman operates under the fear that their authority to probe wrongdoing and grievances could be revoked at any time. He added that there is “a pattern of personal and institutional reprisal” by department officials against the members of the office for their work.
