LCdr. Raymond Trotter’s testimony during Defence committee further highlighted the entrenched nature of the military culture and the difficulties in reporting sexual misconduct allegations. It was discouraging and disappointing to hear of the challenges he faced when reporting serious allegations of misconduct at the highest level, Chief of the Defence Staff Adm McDonald. 

Our Canadian Armed Forces deserve a workplace free from sexual misconduct where women can serve equally alongside men. It takes courage to come forward and for honourable men to do what is right and not what is easy.  LCdr. Trotter demonstrated his commitment to service before self and deserves our sincere thanks.
