Canadian Armed Forces ombudsman Gregory Lick is criticizing the military’s treatment of ill and injured reservists and Canadian Rangers, saying the organization is failing to address long-standing gaps for Canada’s part-time soldiers.

The gaps were first identified by the ombudsman’s office during four separate investigations between 2015 and 2017, at which time the military promised to take action by implementing nine watchdog recommendations.
