Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
I left off talking about families on base. I was very glad to hear of the greater co-operation between the military police and civilian authorities. I saw how, in one particularly egregious historical case, that co-operation did not take place, which has to this day left the victim without the justice they're seeking. I think that's another very positive thing that you're working on. The extra training for military police in sexual assaults is very important. Congratulations on that. I'm not sure what we do about some of those historic injustices. They have to be dealt with in another forum.
As I said, I understand your emphasis on serving members. To that end, I have three quick questions.
The first question is about civilian employees. In my riding I have just as many civilian employees of DND as I do serving members. They're often in mixed workplaces. How have you been dealing with the question of those mixed workplaces?
Second, with regard to reservists—I have just as many reservists as I have the other categories—the Auditor General has expressed some concerns about training for reservists. I wonder if that also applies to the training in sexual misconduct.
My third and last question has to do with peacekeeping deployment. There has certainly been a reduction in peacekeeping training within the Canadian military. I wonder whether you're confident that those about to be deployed on new missions are getting the training they need in terms of sexual misconduct with civilians populations abroad.
