Thank you, Chair.
Maybe I can shed some light.
When I was chair of status of women, we were looking into the sexual misconduct in the military at the same time that the defence committee was looking into the same subject. We were very clear about our scope, in terms of determining what needed to be done to better support survivors. The defence committee was looking at what changes were needed in the CAF to address it.
I think that as long as we are clear on what our objective is and they are clear on theirs, we did agree to then share the witness testimony jointly between committees in order to minimize the trauma to those survivors.
