Military postpones appointment of army commander over misconduct investigation
CBC
The Canadian military has postponed the appointment of its next commander of the army because the man it picked for the role is being investigated for misconduct.
Lt.-Gen. Trevor Cadieu was set to be sworn in as the head of Canada's army at a ceremony in September.
The military says the event was cancelled when it learned on Sept. 5 that its internal investigation department was looking into "historical allegations" made against Cadieu.
"The postponement of the ceremony is not an indictment of Lt.-Gen. Cadieu. However, in light of the ongoing investigation, a decision was made to allow the justice system to pursue the matter in accordance with the rule of law," said the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces in a news statement.
The Ottawa Citizen was first to report on the investigation into Cadieu. The newspaper said he is being investigated over allegations of sexual misconduct.
Cadieu has denied any wrongdoing.
"The allegations are false, but they must be investigated thoroughly to expose the truth," Cadieu said in a news statement.
