OTTAWA — The Defence Department says a painstaking review of dusty
personnel files in the national archives may be needed to determine how
many people were forced out of the military for being gay or lesbian.

The Trudeau government has signalled its intention to apologize to former
military members, hoping to make amends to those who endured federal
discrimination over the decades due to their sexual orientation or gender
identity.

The policies had their roots in government efforts that began as early as
the 1940s to delve into the personal lives of employees who were considered
security risks.
