The Canadian Judicial Council recommended that Camp be removed from the bench, and he later quit as a member of the Federal Court and apologized for his comments.

Federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said the government planned to have Camp removed had he not quit.

The complainant, who was 19 at the time of the first trial, told the disciplinary hearing that Camp’s comments had made her hate herself. She said she had contemplated suicide as a result of her experience.

“He made me feel like I should have done something … that I was some kind of slut,” she said.
