Mr. Garrison, you are correct.
We'll do our steering committee meeting afterwards.
Are there any other contributions to this discussion?
Thank you. We have part of a plan going forward.
Thank you to our witnesses for being with us today and for your patience while we got done a couple of details that needed to be ironed out.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, the committee is resuming its study of addressing sexual misconduct issues in the Canadian Armed Forces, including the allegations against former chief of the defence staff Jonathan Vance.
With us today by video conference: Janine Sherman, deputy secretary to the cabinet, senior personnel and public service renewal at the Privy Council Office; and retired lieutenant-colonel Bernie Boland. Welcome.
Up to six minutes will be given for opening remarks.
I'd like to invite Ms. Sherman to begin with her opening statement.
