    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A military member who contacted CBC News said they resent being compelled to join a mess and pay monthly fees to fund a drinking culture they don’t support.

    The defence department said that in recent years, the military has moved to make messes “more community centred” with “activities ranging from children’s parties to social events to more formal functions.”

    “We’re looking at all the circumstances that can give rise to this grossly inappropriate conduct and how we eliminate it from the experience in the workplace and in the lives of the members serving in our forces,” Blair said Wednesday.

    Earlier this week, Blair also offered an update on the government’s efforts to change the military’s culture in response to the sexual misconduct crisis.

    Arbour’s key recommendation — to strip the military of its jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute sexual offences — will be implemented early in the new year, Blair said.

    Douglas is a human rights advocate who launched a landmark legal challenge against the military’s discriminatory policies regarding LGBTQ community service members.
