More action would have been taken.”Former NHL player Dave “Tiger” Williams, a VIP guest of Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jon Vance, was charged in 2018 with assault and sexual assault after a complaint by a military flight attendant. Williams, 65, filed a brief apology in court as part of a resolution that had the Crown also drop the assault charge. The civilian passengers were exempt from security screening because they were VIPs and some — already drunk — walked on to the Canadian Forces aircraft with alcoholic drinks in their hands. Others chewed tobacco, in violation of Canadian Forces rules, spitting the slimy juice into cups, according to a military investigation. Statistics Canada released a report on May 22 suggesting the Canadian Forces had made minimal progress on its four-year effort to combat sexual misconduct.
