OTTAWA \u2013 The Canadian Armed Forces says it is making progress in the fight against sexual misconduct in the ranks, but much more work needs to be done.<\/p>\n

In an update Tuesday, the military said it completed 51 investigations into inappropriate sexual behavior between April and July.<\/p>\n

As a result, 30 people had received \u201ccareer-impacting\u201d punishments ranging from fines to outright dismissal from the forces. Three more were referred to civilian authorities while the perpetrators in four cases could not be identified.<\/p>\n

Ten cases were considered unfounded.<\/p>\n

Defence chief Gen. Jonathan Vance, who has made the elimination of sexual misconduct a priority, described the results as a \u201cgood start.\u201d He said military personnel \u201chave heard my orders, they understand them, and they are implementing them.<\/p>\n

\u201d<\/p>\n

But Vance acknowledged much work remains to be done after the report showed there were 97 other cases of inappropriate and harmful sexual behaviour still under investigation in the same period. He warned military personnel about being \u201coverly optimistic\u201d about the results, and said there are \u201cno quick fixes\u201d to the problem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Military commanders asked retired Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps to lead an independent investigation into the issue in April 2014 after l\u2019Actualite and Maclean\u2019s magazines reported a large number of military sexual assaults were being ignored or played down.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Deschamps\u2019s explosive report, released in April 2015, described an \u201cunderlying sexual culture\u201d in the military that was hostile to women and left victims of sexual assault and harassment to fend for themselves.<\/p>\n

In response, military leaders promised to take immediate action to root out unacceptable behaviour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
