Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

[McG]

I agree the CAF needs to have a more robust system of "professional discipline" and by that I mean, a more robust administrative measures system. Having your license revoked in accounting and being kicked out of the professional is the equivalent of getting kicked out of the "profession of arms" i.e. getting released.

Professional disciplinary process are unlike employer systems because the results are public - the accusations, decisions, and punishments all get published.

We don’t need more teeth for our administrative processes (they are actually fine). We need a professional disciplinary system that is not quasi-criminal.

The new service infractions & summary hearing are a step in the right direction, but we are not all the way to where we need to be.

A professional disciplinary system, unlike an employer’s HR processes, communicates (to the members and to the public) what behaviours the profession finds unacceptable.

If the CAF wants there to be a profession of arms, then there needs to be a professional disciplinary system that does more than satisfy just the employer’s expectations for good enough conduct & performance.
