Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is side-stepping any responsibility for allegations of sexual misconduct against former chief of defence, General Jonathan Vance.
He says it was not up to him to investigate allegations three years ago.
But Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says Trudeau did not take the proper steps when allegations against Vance were first brought to light in 2018.
He says Trudeau failed to show leadership.
The comments in the House of Commons today came after Trudeau revealed this week that his staff knew about the existence of an allegation of sexual misconduct by Vance in 2018, but that they only learned the specific details following a media report last month.
