Defence vice-chief who golfed with Vance steps aside from role, but not from military

BY , Jun 14, 2021 9:27 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Harjit Sajjan

Lieutenant-General Mike Rouleau says his recent golfing trip with former defence chief Jonathan Vance was only an attempt to reach out and quote ``ensure his wellness.''

But Rouleau is apologizing, saying he understands how the activity could be perceived as a potential conflict of interest and controversy.

Rouleau has announced he is stepping aside from his role as vice-chief of the defence staff.

He will join the Canadian Armed Forces Transition Group, which helps members shift into civilian life.

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan confirmed in the House of Commons that Lieutenant-General Mike Rouleau is leaving his position as vice-chief of the defence staff immediately.

Rouleau and Royal Canadian Navy commander Vice-Admiral Craig Baines were criticized for golfing with former defence chief Jonathan Vance, who is under military police investigation for allegations of sexual misconduct.
