In response to the scandal, the Minister of National Defence mandated former justice Louise Arbour to investigate. He essentially told her to look at the recommendations from another investigation by former justice Marie Deschamps, whose report was presented and shelved six years ago.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6674809\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Minister of National Defence is asking for recommendations about other recommendations that have been shelved for six years and have suddenly become important now that issues have come up. How can the victims truly have confidence in the Minister of National Defence when he is the one responsible for implementing the recommendations?</p>",

En r\u00e9action au scandale, le ministre de la D\u00e9fense nationale a mandat\u00e9 l'ex-juge Louise Arbour pour faire enqu\u00eate. Le mandat qu'il lui a confi\u00e9 est essentiellement d'examiner les recommandations d\u00e9coulant d'une autre enqu\u00eate, celle d'une autre ex-juge, Marie Deschamps, dont le rapport a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pos\u00e9 et tablett\u00e9 il y a six ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6674809\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le ministre de la D\u00e9fense nationale demande donc des recommandations au sujet d'autres recommandations, tablett\u00e9es depuis six ans et qui deviennent soudainement importantes maintenant qu'il a des probl\u00e8mes. Tant que c'est le ministre de la D\u00e9fense nationale qui est responsable de faire appliquer les recommandations, les victimes peuvent-elles vraiment avoir confiance?</p>"
