Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Walbourne, as the new ombudsman at National Defence you will be participating in a number of investigations from across the spectrum on a wide range of issues. Within an organization as large as the Canadian Armed Forces, there are many issues.
Recently the Chief of the Defence Staff announced an external independent review of workplace policies and procedures in the Canadian Armed Forces as it relates to sexual assaults on personnel. In your opinion how will your office receive participating in this review?
