The federal government, Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces will deliver a formal apology today, December 13, 2021, to victims of military sexual misconduct.

The commander of the Canadian Armed Forces is preparing to formally apologize to victims of sexual misconduct as the military seeks to turn the page on its record of failing to prevent inappropriate and criminal behaviour.

The Anglican Church's recent apology for doing "spiritual harm" to Indigenous Peoples is a beginning, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett said on Wednesday, July 17, 2019, but victims of sexual abuse at the hands of one priest in the 1970s and '80s continue to wait for an apology for physical harm they endured from a "man of the cloth."
