Thank you for being at the committee, and congratulations on your appointment, Mr. Walbourne.
I want to go back to the questions about sexual assault in the military. The Maclean's investigation and exposé was a startling revelation of what appeared to be some systemic concerns, a problem with people not just experiencing sexual assault, but more worrisome almost, not feeling safe to have recourse for that.
Has that been identified by the DND ombudsmen over the past years? I'm new on the committee, but I don't recall that this was flagged by the ombudsman's office.
Mr. Gauthier can perhaps tell us whether the alarm was raised on this issue by the ombudsman's office.
