Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for coming in.
I congratulate you, Mr. Walbourne, on your appointment as ombudsman to National Defence.
We were talking earlier about this issue of sexual assault and sexual harassment. I understand and I appreciate that sexual assault is a criminal investigation that has to be left to the police officials and authorities, and then ultimately the judicial system to sort out.
You also mentioned the concern that some people don't come forward on sexual assault or harassment because of revictimization.
What about those victims? What role does your office have in dealing with the victims after an assault has taken place, especially as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces? Are there programs in place? Would you have to work through military personnel to ensure that there is programming available for those who have been victimized?
