Commissioner's Remarks Spark Outcry

Correctional Services Commissioner Doan Cleare’s controversial remarks to new recruits—suggesting female recruits could be fired more easily and that he’d “massage” struggling male recruits due to their scarcity—have ignited national outrage. The National Security Minister, Myles LaRoda, condemned the comments as unacceptable and called for accountability, while Cleare apologized in writing, claiming it was a joke. Women United demands his resignation, and lawmakers are pushing for an investigation into whether gender bias exists in disciplinary practices. Minister LaRoda insists such language is inappropriate, especially in male-dominated institutions, and emphasized progress shown by women in leadership roles. The fallout raises urgent questions about fairness, equality, and the department’s commitment to non-discrimination, with growing calls for systemic review to prevent legal and reputational damage.
