In her Report, Justice Arbour noted that the “Government has committed to providing Parliament with an implementation plan for [her] recommendations and providing regular updates so as provide both internal and external audiences visibility on progress." She also noted that the implementation of her recommendations will depend on a combination of political will, capacity and accountability.
At the close of her report, Justice Arbour recommended (See: Recommendation 48 below) the appointment of an EXTERNAL AUDITOR (a sort of Inspector General) monitoring and reporting on compliance with her recommendations, in particular but not limited to “the move of criminal sexual offences to civilian police and prosecution authorities and harassment as well as discrimination to the Canadian Human Rights Commission.”
Recommendation #48
The Minister should immediately appoint an external monitor, mandated to oversee the implementation of the recommendations in this Report and other external recommendations that she accepts.
The External Auditor would provide monthly updates to the Minister and bi-annual public reports to insure ongoing accountability for DND and CAF leadership and challenging the insularity with which senior leadership has, to date, reacted when faced with the recommendations from outsiders.
