OTTAWA—Former Supreme Court justice Morris Fish has been tapped to lead an independent review of Canada’s military-justice system, which is struggling with a variety of challenges—including over its handling of sexual-assault cases and treatment of victims.
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan announced Fish’s appointment on Monday as he launched the review, which is required by law about every 10 years to ensure the justice regime is meeting the needs of both Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces.
