There's one specific point, and if you haven't had a chance to review it, I'd be curious if you could submit your views to the committee in the coming days. The recommendation I'm most interested in is her recommendation number six, which goes to division 1.1 in the bill, the declaration of victims' rights.
She recommends that we consider an appeal mechanism and the identification of an oversight body with statutory powers to review such appeals related to infringements or denials of victims' rights to ensure the effective oversight and enforcement of victims' rights.
Her main argument is that it's great that we have division 1.1. She points out that it's incredibly important to encourage women, especially, to consider the Canadian Armed Forces as a career option, but that unless there's some enforceability of these victims' rights through an appeal mechanism, they would ring hollow. They would be declaratory, and there would be no way to apply them.
I understand you haven't had a chance to review her report, but as a general principle, would the department be open to considering some sort of a mechanism that would introduce an option to appeal? If a decision is taken that takes insufficient account of a victim's rights, then could there be a way to correct it?
