True North independently verified the implementation of this policy in at least one Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) military base.
Major Soomin Kim of Canada's Department of National Defense affirmed that this decision aligns with federal government directives, emphasizing compliance with the Canada Labor Code. The federal directive underscores its dedication to "better protect menstruating employees" by requiring the presence of menstrual products in all toilet rooms, regardless of their designated genders.
The directive also outlines specific requirements for employers, including the provision of covered containers for the disposal of menstrual products. Employers must ensure that menstrual products are available in every female-identified, male-identified, and all-gender toilet room.
Additionally, covered disposal containers must be provided in each toilet stall, maintaining unrestricted access to menstrual products and promoting a safe environment for employees.
The directive defines menstrual products as tampons inserted into the vagina during menstruation, with or without an applicator, and pads that absorb menstrual fluids by affixing them to underwear.
This move aligns with broader initiatives across Canada to expand access to taxpayer-funded menstrual products in all washrooms.
The District of Saanich, for instance, plans to provide free menstrual products in all public washrooms, including men's rooms, with proponents highlighting the benefits for individuals who menstruate and those facing financial constraints.
The Trudeau government's directive to eliminate religion in the Canadian military, issued under the banner of inclusivity and diversity, has raised concerns among critics.
Father Timothy Nelligan, a former Canadian Armed Forces member and Roman Catholic chaplain, views it as a move down the road of eradicating religion from the military, with a potential punitive focus on Christian Canadians.

The directive emphasizes inclusivity, but critics argue it disproportionately impacts Christians in the country.
The systemic removal of religious content aligns with broader woke principles, impacting Canada's Christian heritage and prompting comparisons to historical patterns seen in Communist revolutions.
The directive's impact on Christian representation in the military and its alignment with woke ideologies have raised questions about the government's commitment to respecting diverse religious backgrounds. The historical context of Communist regimes, which aimed to reduce religious belief, is cited to highlight potential parallels.
Critics express concern over mainstream media's reluctance to address the socio-historical implications of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's efforts to diminish Christianity in the military.
The directive's emergence follows a previous advisory panel's recommendation to stop hiring chaplains with more traditional religious beliefs. The report categorizes religion as a source of suffering and trauma, particularly for LGBTQ2+ individuals. Critics see this as an example of using LGBTQ2+ issues to advance a socialist agenda and eliminate Christian influence.
The Trudeau government's alignment with woke principles, combined with security expenses and concerns over Trudeau's safety, leads some to draw parallels with dictatorial tendencies.
Critics view Trudeau as a revolutionary figure pushing for a purge of Christianity from Canadian society, as the government dismantles traditional structures in the name of post-modern ideals.
