Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank both of our witnesses for being here today.
Major Perron, I want to thank you for your service. I want to thank you for being that pioneer despite all the hardship that you encountered within the Canadian Armed Forces. You're also a hero to so many young women and men for the role that you've played, so I thank you for that.
I love what you were just saying about making sure we collect the data, because I've always subscribed to the theory that if you don't measure it, you can't manage it. If we are going to properly manage this, we have to have even better datasets than what we have right now.
I know we've been dealing a lot with the wrongdoing that has occurred, the obstacles that have been put in the way of the promotion of women in the armed forces. Let's do the flip side.
You're talking about career advancement, but what attracts women into the armed forces to start with? If we make all the changes—Operation Honour works properly; mentorship is there; we can collect all the information and stamp out sexual harassment, sexual misconduct and intimidation within the armed forces, and the culture essentially does change and we have a better work environment for all—what do we do on the recruitment side to bring young women into the armed forces?
