Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I would like to ask a very specific question about cases of sexual misconduct.
In the case of General Vance, we have had both media reports and comments from the general himself that he was twice—before he was appointed chief of the defence staff—accused of sexual misconduct and, on at least one occasion, was investigated by the Canadian military.
Would that material be maintained in the personnel file of a GIC appointee? I am not asking you to confirm it in this case, but if that's the case—and General Vance has confirmed it—would that material be maintained in a personnel file that would be accessible to the PCO?
