Ottawa is required to act on a growing number of privacy violations involving members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have been victims of sexual misconduct while in uniform.
Epiq Class Action Administration Services has released the personal information of more than 100 current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces on 20 separate privacy violations since February.
The Canadian Press revealed another breach earlier this month, despite the company’s repeated promise that it had fixed the issues.
Military sexual misconduct experts say the violations threaten to re-traumatize affected service members, and some veterans wonder why the Liberal federal government and Parliament are not listening to Epiq.
More transparency and accountability
Although the government refused to intervene, opposition parties said the failures were unacceptable and Liberals were letting the military victims of misconduct by not insisting on the company for more. transparency and accountability.
The Federal Court appointed Epiq to handle a $ 900 million government settlement agreement that includes processing claims from nearly 20,000 people seeking compensation.
