House of Commons defence committee will not hear from more witnesses to testify about Jonathan Vance sexual misconduct allegation

have faced pressure over what they knew about an allegation made against Mr. Vance in 2018, when he was defence chief. The defence committee has studied who knew what about the allegation, and the Status of Women committee has heard from victims of military trauma. The Status of Women committee is to consider its draft report this week.The defence committee has fallen behind as the opposition pushes to uncover more about the Vance allegation.

On Monday, Mr. Bezan withdrew the motion, and said in an interview he did so because the Liberals were willing to take up all of the meeting time with their filibuster. Liberal members have said they wanted to work on a report instead of inviting more witnesses, and they insisted the same on Monday, but disagreed with Mr. Bezan’s approach.

“For the sake of expediency, one can sort of follow the logic of why you would restrict time,” he said. However, he added, it would hinder debate.Bloc Québécois MP Xavier Barsalou-Duval said he regrettably supported the committee’s decision to withdraw Mr. Bezan’s motion calling on Ms. Astravas and others to testify, saying the committee could have welcomed more witnesses “crucial” to its work.
