I don’t think that the military can solve this problem: Major Kellie Brennan
Description
February 28, 2021
After a week that saw the newly installed Chief of Defence staff Admiral Art Mcdonald step aside while military police investigate misconduct allegations, ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson talks to the woman who sounded the alarm one week ago about the barriers complainants of sexual misconduct face in Canada's military. Major Kellie Brennan calls for an independent investigation to solve the widespread problem and she also says she wants Canadians to know they should still have faith that the Armed Forces can get past this dark chapter.
