I have just one quick comment.
We have thousands of members who work at DND, and they've raised this over and over again: where do they stand? If the forces are excluded, but DND isn't, and DND deals with such matters of national security, then when do they know it's safe to go forward? When do they know that one of these red flags isn't going to be brought up? What if one of the people they need to blow the whistle on is a member of the armed forces but acts in a supervisory role to them, which is very common?
So they have a lot of concerns about where that arbitrary line gets drawn and how they're protected if suddenly those issues are raised to exclude what they're trying to bring forward in the process.
