Katie Telford says she has asked herself in recent months whether she could have done more to fight sexual misconduct in Canada's armed forces.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's chief of staff testified at a parliamentary defence committee today.

Telford says she didn't learn the content of a 2018 complaint against Canada's former top soldier until February when it was reported publicly.

She has told MPs she was only told it was a ``personal misconduct'' complaint.

Telford says since then, she has replayed past conversations in her head with female soldiers and asked herself what more she could have done to create a safe space.
