During the Standing Committee on National Defence, the former ombudsman, Gary Walbourne testified that he provided the Defence Minister with serious allegations against the former Chief of the Defence Staff, General Vance. Walbourne verified that the Defence Minister had both the authority and the responsibility to act upon the information he was given. Walbourne did everything expected of him. But Sajjan chose to do nothing.
