The Trudeau government is keeping mum on why the newly-minted chief of defence staff is being investigated for misconduct.
Admiral Art McDonald has stepped aside for now.
In the House of Commons today, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole tried, but failed, to get answers about the investigation -- and whether there are any other probes going on in the military.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland acknowledged the investigation in the House of Commons, but revealed no details.
She would only say the government takes misconduct allegations seriously.
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan revealed late last night that McDonald had "voluntarily stepped aside" while military police investigate unspecified allegations.
