OTTAWA – The military officer who previously oversaw Canada’s vaccine rollout campaign says his reputation has been “irreparably tarnished” by the government’s decision to abruptly replace him in May and publicly reveal he was being investigated for sexual misconduct.
Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin’s assertion is contained in an affidavit sworn last week but only publicly revealed on Thursday as part of his legal battle to reverse his dismissal from the Public Health Agency of Canada, which he alleges was improper and politically motivated.

OTTAWA Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin says his career “appears to be over” after he was abruptly removed from his role overseeing Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout because of a decades-old allegation of sexual misconduct.
Fortin’s assertion is contained in an affidavit sworn last week as part of his legal battle to reverse the government’s decision in May to fire him from his posting with the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Fortin’s legal team says the affidavit has been served on Attorney General David Lametti and will be formally submitted to the court in September.
