How to fix the Canadian Forces’ grievance system

Despite efforts by successive chiefs of defence staff to delegate their statutory responsibilities down, the backlog and delays in the military grievance system are worse than ever. But the growing backlog in the CAF grievance system is due in large part to the broad wording of Sec. 29 of the National Defence Act which permits a member to grieve practically anything. This is an expensive and inappropriate use of energies and resources.

Chief of the Defence Staff General Jonathan Vance, pictured April 30, 2020, at a press conference at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa. Instilling reasonable limitations on the right to grieve would serve the greater good, and would assist in eliminating the backlog of grievances, write Michel Drapeau and Joshua Juneau.
