Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Member of Parliament (MP) Cheryl Gallant is calling for the resignation of Canada’s Defence Minister.
While in Parliament earlier this week, Gallant talked about a double standard for women in uniform and how the Chief of Staff and Defence Minister have done nothing to address sexual misconduct in the military.
Gallant directly called for the Defence Minister to resign.
The MP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke says there’s no room in the Prime Ministers office or the Department of National Defence for sexism, misogyny, racism, anti semitism, islamophobia, discrimination, harassment, or any other conduct that prevents the government from being a welcoming and inclusive organization.
Gallant says she will always have the backs of men and women in uniform and thanked the soldiers who raised the issues of war crimes.
Fellow Conservative MP Colin Carrie who represents the riding of Oshawa also called for the resignation of the defence minister. Carrie says the sexual scandal in the military was kept away from Canadians before the last election.
The Minister of Defence must resign!
