Head of Canadian military intelligence school relieved of command after misconduct investigation
CBC
The former commandant of the Canadian Forces School of Military Intelligence is continuing to serve in the military after being relieved of his command following an investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct.
In April, the Canadian Forces temporarily removed Lt.-Col. Raphael Guay from his duties overseeing the school in Kingston, Ont.
CBC News has now confirmed that the military decided months ago that Guay would not return to his command post because of the findings coming from the unit's disciplinary investigation. On July 5, Guay officially reported for duty in a new role — as a staff officer at Canadian Forces Intelligence Command in Ottawa.
"Additionally, other administrative and corrective measures have been taken, including the cancellation of the former commandant's promotion and planned posting," wrote Department of National Defence (DND) spokesperson Daniel Le Bouthillier in a statement to CBC News.
DND did not confirm the nature of the allegations investigated, citing privacy laws.
The investigation found "no sufficient evidence to support" laying a charge using the military's justice system, DND said.
Several senior military leaders are under military police investigation over allegations of misconduct. In the latest such case to make news, Lt.-Gen. Steven Whelan stepped aside Friday from his role as the commander of military personnel. He faces an allegation of sexual misconduct that's been under investigation since June.
