VANCOUVER—An extraordinary set of handwritten notes by Canada’s acting defence chief appear to reveal a behind−the−scenes struggle between due process, political optics and support for the complainant after a sexual misconduct allegation emerged against Maj.−Gen. Dany Fortin.
More than 100 pages of heavily redacted documents, including notes mostly written in bullet−point form by Lt.−Gen. Wayne Eyre and internal email exchanges between top military officials, have been filed to the Federal Court. The communications are between mid−March and mid−May.
