Status of Women committee  I think it's a very valid point that people will be open when they're leaving and that we might get some of our best information from that. We're not planning to add a question about that. I think we would more likely be focusing on having those interviews done as opposed to pres

Status of Women committee  I don't think we're going to three strikes or any specific set of circumstances like that. It is zero tolerance. It will be zero tolerance. That is our commitment to have zero tolerance. The discipline itself as it's set out right now would go to an adjudication board, in which

Status of Women committee  We have just in the last year gone to the central management oversight of harassment. Part of that was to take all of the harassment cases and input them into the electronic system. Unfortunately, that was just tombstone data, so I don't think our statistics are so helpful for wh

Status of Women committee  Not at all. But I'll turn that over to my colleague.

Status of Women committee  It's not a survey per se; it's an interview when people are leaving. We call it an exit interview. It's open-ended. There are no set questions. Therefore, there are none about sexual harassment per se. However, when exit interviews are done, it would be open-ended, and any inform

Status of Women committee  No, it's because the interview is more open-ended; it's a free-flowing interview, so it wouldn't be a prescribed set of questions. I'm confident that if somebody raised the issue of sexual harassment, they would not just say thank you and move on. It would be a precursor to askin

Status of Women committee  Yes, I have confidence. I understand the processes. I've worked with them. Perhaps what we need to do is explain them better so that other people have confidence in them as well.

Status of Women committee  I don't have a daughter.

Status of Women committee  Supposing I did, I most certainly would, yes. I have had a very positive career. I would pass it on. Obviously any child makes their own decision.

Status of Women committee  I have read the report. I do know our policy centre is working closely with “E” Division to follow what they have been doing since the report. There has been a lot of good work started, possibly because of this report, but maybe even earlier than that, because of the negative pub

Status of Women committee  As I said, I have read the report, and like you, I was disheartened by some of those comments. It's not pleasant to imagine somebody feeling that way in their workplace. I don't know the sum of the comments and how many positive ones didn't make the report either, but I have to

Status of Women committee  I think a little bit of everything will help address the issue, not one law or one policy. I mentioned some in my last response. Maybe I'll allow Superintendent O'Rielly to comment on Bill C-42.

Status of Women committee  The statistics will show the women in the force—20% give or take, depending on what level you're at—and then it drops off a bit. Then it starts to build up again in senior management. The feeder pool is what will get us there. That's part of the importance of the 35%—to build th

Status of Women committee  They are done. I can't give you a statistic on it. They are offered. It's part of our process to offer those to people.

Status of Women committee  The changes that deal with sexual harassment are based on the policies. We're updating. We're building guides. This will be the first time we have used the guides. We're basing them on the Treasury Board guides. They will give examples to help people identify what is and what isn
