Madam Chair, at some point in time over the next week or two, I think it would be good to have a subcommittee to just organize the work of committee, knowing that we have two reports that have been drafted as well as another study that we want to get under way while we're still dealing with the study on sexual misconduct in the armed forces.
Based upon the evidence that we received today, I move the following:
That the Standing Committee on National Defence, concerning its study of addressing sexual misconduct issues in the Canadian Armed Forces, including the allegations against former Chief of Defence Staff Jonathan Vance and Admiral Art McDonald, invite Daniel jean, former National Security and Intelligence Advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada; that the witness appear for no less than two hours; and that the meeting be held in public and be televised.
To that motion, I think, based upon what we have heard now and how important a role the national security adviser played in the original screening and vetting of General Vance back in 2015, as well as the role that the national security adviser played, as Mr. Novak said, in the appointment process of General Natynczyk and General Lawson, that it is crucial that we have Daniel Jean, who was the national security adviser at the time these allegations were presented to the Minister of Defence in March 2018, appear.
