Defence Minister Jason Kenney has promised to fix the problems raised in a scathing report on Canada’s military police service, even as the war of words surrounding Afghan war veteran Stuart Langridge’s suicide shows no signs of abating.

The Military Police Complaints Commission issued a report this week that identified “serious flaws” in three separate investigations into Langridge’s suicide, with poorly supervised officers seemingly unable to cope with even basic policing techniques. The report included 46 recommendations to improve military policing.

Appearing before the Commons defence committee Wednesday, Kenney said he had not had a chance to read the MPCC’s entire 1,000-page report. But he said the MPCC has clearly indicated military police were guilty of “wrongdoing and incompetence” in their investigations.

“This is unacceptable,” Kenney said, “and the committee has my clear assurance that I will work with the provost marshal and the military to accept any course of action necessary to ensure these errors are not repeated in the future.”
