That much is a common clause in settlements though, isn't it?

also

quote:

Government lawyers had previously sought to stop the class-action lawsuit and faced backlash after telling a court the government does not "owe a private law duty of care to individual members within the CAF to provide a safe and harassment-free work environment, or to create policies to prevent sexual harassment or sexual assault."

Last year Trudeau said that language was "of concern", and soon after the federal government moved to settle the lawsuits.

Lol, that's probably barely enough to cover everything that occurred at the barracks when I did my BMQ/SQ (bootcamp) over a decade ago. Its such a loving problem in the CF it's unreal. The entire military justice system only serves to downgrade incidents to "fraternization" and punish both parties, which in turn ensures it doesn't become a statistic or part of the civilian justice system.

reminder that the trudeau government spent at least $110,000 fighting to avoid paying $6,000 for a First Nations teenager's orthodontic treatment while also voting in favour of NDP motions asking them to stop fighting First Nations people over medical procedures, and they saw that as a good use of money because it would establish precedent that they don't have to pay for such procedures in the future

Nice military good job

The RCMP had to have their ability to investigate internal sex harassment taken away and given to an outside board, it would not surprise me at all if a similar move happens with the CF

Also: Canada is ready for new airplane pitches. It promises to limit baksheeh considerations to 20% of the overall score.

Candidates: Super Hornet (Boeing), Eurofighter Typhoon (Airbus), F-35 (Lockheed), Gripen (Saab).

If you want an in-depth analysis, This is a good blog

If you are asking what Canada needs in fighters, you can break it down in a few ways. For basic bitch sovereignty reasons that are non-negotiable, a nation needs to be able to defend and police its own airspace. Any of these can do that. Second non-optional requirement is holding up our end in Defense pacts we're members of, namely NORAD and NATO. Both of these groups want us to be able to defend our own airspace to a level of acceptable competence - and also integrate cleanly into larger operations in those alliances. The American options can do that no problem; the European aircraft you have to look more closely at the fine print. The latest Gripen is the E, and is not finished testing yet (though as a matter of policy Saab develops its aircraft to follow all relevent NATO standards - think munitions and communication) and the Eurofighter Typhoon is kind of a hodgepodge consortium which means you have to read the fine print. Austria is actually suing airbus for fobbing off on their Airforce useless fighters, so that's a concern.

Then there's the requirement that it do what the RCAF needs it to do. Depending on how much detail you want this is endless, but the RCAF needs an all rounder: something that can drop bombs, fight enemy aircraft, and perform tactical reconnasance. Three of these are proven the fourth is the Eurofighter. It started development in the 1980s as an air superiority fighter (IE a specialist in attacking other aircraft) and grafting on the "all rounder" aspects has been slow and painful, so def a black mark there.

Another pretty obvious requirement: not be ruinously expensive. The amount of money it costs to operate an aircraft over its lifetime is a much bigger cost than the initial purchase price. Reliability is important here as well. The Gripen and the Super Hornet are clustered around the "extremely cost effective and reliable" part of the spectrum, while the other two are mysteries, though would cost a lot more. The Typhoon is apparently a dog (or maybe a Jaguar) judged by this standard, while the F-35 remains a moving target. In the Harper admin, the costs per hour and airframe costs were just too high, regardless of anything else; but these having been coming down.

Stealth is a sidebar here, since that's the F-35's party piece. The knock against it has been "we only want this so we can join America on imperialist adventures." Honestly in that infamous letter that some DND dumb-dumb wrote to whitewash Harper just picking the F-35, I'm sure that was a notion, but like the letter, the sentiment is dumb. TL;DR air defense systems have gotten crazy good, so in a contested environment low observability might be essential for effective operations, so actually figuring out if its something that makes sense for Canada will be part of the expert assessment.

We'll just pick the most expensive one because of course.

Its worth mentioning that twin engines *should* be on this list two, but not even the CF seems concerned with that.
