Thank you, Chair.
Minister, thank you for being here. I know that as you bring your experience as former Minister of Status of Women to your current role, you're bringing a level of passion and expertise that all of us appreciate, so thank you for your leadership on this issue.
I want to ask you about federal employees. We've talked a lot about people who work on the Hill. I had the privilege of visiting the maximum security Edmonton Institution, where there has been over a decade of harassment and abuse of employees. When I was there, I made them a promise. They said that we were their only hope. The department has done a lot of work to try to put an anonymous tip line in place, but there was a culture there such that if people came forward, there was retribution against them, so they were afraid to come forward.
How can we ensure that people working in corrections—working for us, the federal government—will be able to come forward without fear of retribution?
