The Canadian military has concluded on the balance of probabilities that Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin "did not engage in sexual misconduct" after the senior military officer was acquitted of sexual assault late last year.
"We acknowledge that this has been a long and difficult process for all individuals impacted by this matter," he added. "I am looking forward to serving Canadians in a Canadian Armed Forces position that is commensurate with my rank and experience," Fortin said in a written statement provided to The Canadian Press on Monday. Fortin was the head of the government's COVID-19 vaccine rollout when the historical allegation emerged. He was removed from the role in May 2021 pending an investigation.
Fortin said he intends to continue fighting his "unfair removal" and "lack of due process" at the Federal Court of Appeal. The government has denied Fortin's claims that he was removed due to political interference. In an interview with The Canadian Press last month, Fortin's lawyer, Natalia Rodriguez, left the door open to an additional lawsuit or settlement. Rodriguez said her client had essentially been left in limbo for 18 months and this had limited his ability to work and be promoted before reaching the military's mandatory retirement age of 55 this coming summer.
