Cheryl Gallant Conservative
“The member said military sexual assault cases are now sent to civilian courts. I want to know how many were sent, how many have been heard, and how many are still waiting. I also want to know what happens to cases like groping that civilian courts might not take.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member said that all the sexual assault cases since a certain date have been transferred to the civilian courts. I wonder if he knows how many have been transferred, and of those, how many have been heard, how many are still waiting to be heard, and what happens to the so-called low-level sexual assaults of groping that will not meet the threshold to be heard in civilian court.”
