Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. White, I would be remiss if I didn't start by acknowledging the courage it takes to come forward to a committee. Thank you for your service.
Sexual abuse is abhorrent. We have an absolute responsibility to victims to make sure that the process they go through in bringing their trauma forward is done with compassion and a sense of transparency, and also a sense of safety. I think it's important to acknowledge that. I speak on my own behalf, but also all of the colleagues in this room, in our absolute support in making sure that safety and transparency are there.
In the context of the study about access to information, you've brought a very sensitive process to light. I'm wondering if you could walk us through the process by which a victim would consider going the ATIP route to be able to access documentation.
There are mechanisms in place within CAF. We have a Minister of Defence who has made it her absolute mission and commitment to make sure that victims are protected through this process. However, since we have you here today, I'd respectfully ask if you could share with us how that currently works.
