Dear Minister Sajjan

I am following up on the report that was submitted to you on 12 November 2021 titled: Engaged in the World: A Systemic Investigation into theAdministration of Postings, Assignments and Employments of Defence Team Personnel Outside of Canada (OUTCAN).

As you are aware, the report was published, as per my mandate on 15 December 2020 and we have yet to receive a response from you.

I would appreciate a response to the report so that we may move forward on ensuring the well-being of the Defence Community posted on OUTCAN.

Sincerely,
