Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you all for being here.
Thank you to all of you for making time to be with the committee today and for offering your expertise and experience.
I want to start by coming back to something that was mentioned by Colonel Drapeau in his opening statement. He made the point that allegations of harassment were made in 2018, but I also believe I heard Mr. Drapeau just say he doesn't know the content of the conversation between the ombudsman and the minister.
I just want to clarify for the record that this committee has not heard that there were or were not allegations in 2018. I think all we know is that the Privy Council Office determined that there was not any actionable information.
My question is for Justice Deschamps and Dr. Preston. It's the same question for both.
I'll direct it to you, Justice Deschamps, and then, Dr. Preston, if you would also try to answer it, I'd appreciate it.
What is the process and what should be done when someone wants to bring forward concerns of sexual harassment but doesn't want to file an official complaint?
