Following the broadcast, Canadian Forces servicemen and veterans raised questions about his identity, and whether he was – or had ever been – a serving soldier.
Gervais faces charges including personating a public officer, unlawful use of a military uniform and unlawful use of military decorations.
Lawyer Claude Levesque refused to say how his client will plead, noting that he has not had time to review the Crown’s evidence.
