Ottawa to pay nearly $1B to settle sexual misconduct lawsuits against Canadian Armed Forces
The Canadian government has agreed to pay nearly a $1 billion to settle class-action lawsuits from Canadian Armed Forces members who allege rampant sexual misconduct in the military.
"While not admitting liability, the government of Canada has agreed to a settlement," reads a statement
Of the $900 million set aside, $800 million will cover current and former members of the armed forces and $100 million will go to Department of National Defence employees who experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault or discrimination based on sex, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation on the job.
