I would submit that there is more than one culture in the Canadian Armed Forces. There are cultures depending on your occupation; on whether you are in the air force, the navy, or the army; and on whether you are SOF, special operations forces. There are cultures depending on whether you are an officer or an NCM.
Of the two specifics you are addressing, one has to do with our culture of a hierarchical system, which is very much who we are. You know where you are in that proverbial totem pole, and you know your roles and responsibilities based on your position and your rank.
Your responsibilities as a supervisor are at the heart of what Madame Deschamps has said in her report—and I'll go to the sexualized culture in just a moment. The heart of her report is that the people in the chain of command—not in every case but in the cases she is aware of—did not do the right thing.
That hierarchical culture, which is the backbone of military cultures around the world, in this respect is broken, in that people are not taking account of what their people are doing or, when someone has come forward, have not done the right thing. Again, it's not in all cases. I certainly don't want to broad-brush those who are doing the right thing.
When General Vance determined that he needed to give orders to the Canadian Armed Forces, Operation Honour, he did it on that premise, that as military members—which I understand a number of you have been—we understand what orders are, and the orders are that the chain of command will take care of their people.
Now, one could argue that it should never have to be an order, because it is implicit, but in this particular case, as it goes to that sexualized culture, the requirement for an order is there, to be sure that people are aware of what is and what is not going to be appropriate or put up with by the chain of command.
