The military police have started their investigation into allegations of misconduct against former chief of the defence staff Jonathan Vance, the Defence Department has confirmed.

Vance is alleged to have engaged in inappropriate behaviour with two female subordinates. One is a relationship he had with a woman he significantly outranked. The other is a sexual comment made to a much younger woman in 2012 before he was appointed defence chief, according to a report by Global News on Feb. 2.
