The Canadian Forces confirmed five members of the military, who were off duty at the time, were involved in the incident. Military commanders apologized for the actions of the individuals.

A number of news outlets erroneously reported that the five men have since been placed on paid leave.

Not so, says the Canadian Forces.

“The members have each been reassigned from their previous positions and posted to shore billets where they are conducting supervised secondary duties while this process continues,” spokesman Lt. –Cmdr. Jordan Holder told Defence Watch.

“The Commanders of Maritime Forces Atlantic and the 5th Canadian Division are actively reviewing the MP report into the Proud Boys incident which occurred on July 1st, in consultation with their superior commands,” he added.
