Ombudsman and DND in clash over independence
Canada's military ombudsman Gary Walbourne accuses National Defence of insidious pressure when reports criticize the department. He urges full parliamentary reporting to shield the office, while Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan resists, citing a 2015 auditor general critique and current resource controls. The office handles about 13,000 yearly contacts and 1,900 open cases focusing on military to civilian transition.
