Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tasked Minister Anita Anand with correcting the culture crisis in the Canadian Armed Forces.
As the national defence minister, Anand says she plans to start by reviewing all recommendations that have been made to date, and will consult with men and woman in uniform.
Former Procurement Minister Anita Anand will take up the challenge of addressing the culture crisis in the Canadian Armed Forces as the new minister of defence.
She warned there is no one magical solution to the problem the Armed Forces faces.
Trudeau praised Anand's governance expertise and says that's why he appointed her to the role.
Sajjan was shuffled out of the position amid criticism of his handling of sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces.
