[Canadian] Military police conducted 135 sexual assault and misconduct investigations last year, a one-third increase from 2014, CBC News has learned.
Only a fraction of the complaints — 17 of them — were directed from the newly established crisis response centre at the Department of National Defence.
That organization was set up in the aftermath of a scathing report last year by former Supreme Court of Canada justice Marie Deschamps, who documented what she described as an "endemic" culture of sexual harassment in the military.
