# 2023-038 Harassment, Canadian Rangers, Harassment

Case summary

F&R Date: 2024-06-17

The grievor argued that her chain of command (CoC) did not take appropriate action when she claimed harassment by a former Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) member.

The Initial Authority refused to determine the grievance on the grounds that it was submitted outside the time limit prescribed in article 7.06 of the Queen's Regulations and Orders for the Canadian Forces.

The Committee noted that many of the allegations of harassment occurred from when the other CAF member was already released and the CAF had no authority over him. The Committee found that there was little evidence on the file of the grievor requesting assistance from her CoC and she did not file a harassment complaint about her situation, in order for the CAF to engage the harassment process.

The Committee recommended that the Final Authority not afford redress.
