I think it's been said, and it needs to be reinforced, that any inappropriate sexual behaviour is something that is not acceptable in the Canadian Armed Forces or in any military.
There are a variety of tools that we're currently using to eradicate such behaviour. Operation Honour is one of them, and it brings to bear the action of the chain of command, the Sexual Misconduct Response Centre, and the strategic response team regarding sexual misconduct.
Another of the tools being put at the disposition of the chain of command is the military justice system and what it does to ensure that such conduct is appropriately addressed.
With this bill, we are now keeping pace with the rest of society. This bill would provide us with an opportunity to give victims of inappropriate sexual behaviour the type of support that they want and that they deserve within the military justice system.
I think that needs to be communicated, not only internally in the Canadian Armed Forces, but also outside to all Canadians. What we are doing today is very much a part of that process: We're talking publicly about the system and what it does, not only for the Canadian Armed Forces but also in meeting the expectations of Canadian society as a whole.
