🧵‘Grossly unfair to one & all’ 👉"Military law expert Michel Drapeau, a retired colonel, said the way the Fortin probe has proceeded is “unprecedented,” & “grossly unfair to one and all.” #cdnpoli thestar.com/politics/feder…
“I’m clearly on the side of sexual assault victims and I defend a number of them, but not to the degree that it would be unfair and have no justice and no fairness to those who are at the receiving end of it,” Drapeau said. #cdnpoli
“I think we can do both and we must do both.” #cdnpoli
"Lieut.-Gen. Wayne Eyre, was briefed by military police in mid-March that an investigation was underway but was not given details." #cdnpoli
"Eyre inquired if there was a current risk to people...Based on information Eyre had, and in order to protect the integrity of the investigation, and due process for all, it was Eyre’s decision at that time to leave Fortin on his assignment." #cdnpoli
"It was also Eyre’s decision to remove Fortin from that command Friday, although it is unclear what prompted that decision." #cdnpoli
PMJT: “I wasn’t given the details of these allegations because it would not be appropriate for me to be following that closely an independent investigation like this.” #cdnpoli
PM Trudeau said he and his office have sought to ensure a “rigorous and fair” investigation is underway, one that respects “the wishes of any complainant, if that is indeed the type of investigation this is.” #cdnpoli
PMJT: “I can’t even confirm the type of investigation because that is not information made public by the military yet,” #cdnpoli
Note: the out of paywall link gives a totally different, abbreviated version. I won't use it. #cdnpoli
