I thank the member. Her question is important.
Mr. Chair, I think we all agree that the military needs to take action against sexual assault, which is completely unacceptable. I would say that this is why the Chief of the Defence Staff asked Justice Deschamps to prepare an entirely independent report. In my view, this also explains why Major-General Christine Whitecross has been appointed to implement the recommendations in the report and to address this issue.
Let's be clear, Mr. Chair. Having talked to the Chief of the Defence Staff and the Canadian military commanders, I know that they recognize that there is a problem and that they must take action. That is the reason behind the report. They agree with all the recommendations made by Justice Deschamps.
