Sexual harassment is still an issue in the Canadian Forces because people are "biologically wired in a certain way," Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Tom Lawson told CBC News on Tuesday, drawing outrage from opposition politicians and on social media.
After CBC aired excerpts of his comments, Lawson quickly backpedalled and apologized for what he called an "awkward characterization."
