The Canadian military says it is still assessing the implications of recommendations from an advisory panel that said in a report last year the armed forces chaplaincy needs to be reformed due to religious views not being aligned with the organization’s values.
“The Minister of National Defence has not issued instructions, directives, or analogous decisions with regards to the Chaplaincy, or section 6 of Part III of the Report, because work is currently underway to assess the implications of the Advisory Panel’s recommendations,” the Liberal government said in an Inquiry of Ministry filed in the House of Commons on Jan. 30.
