In 2015, retired Supreme Court Justice Marie Deschamps released an external review addressing sexual misconduct and sexual harassment within the Canadian Armed Forces. One of her key recommendations was the establishment of an independent reporting center to handle sexual assault cases, ensuring that survivors had a safe and impartial avenue for reporting incidents.

Additionally, advocates are calling for these cases to be removed from the control of the Canadian Armed Forces, arguing that an external, independent body would offer more transparency and accountability in the handling of such serious allegations.
