Madam Chair, when it comes to independent bodies, they are something that I welcome. In fact, there are a number of independent bodies that write reports on the actions not only of the military, but also of CSE.
When it comes to government, it is extremely important to be accountable to Canadians, and when it comes to the independence of agencies to review various things, that is something to be welcomed, because it makes sure we are moving in the right direction. More importantly, it's an independent look at where we might have missed something, so we can look at improving processes or putting resources where they're needed.
In addition to independence when it comes to Parliament, we also need to look at the work that needs to be done inside the Canadian Armed Forces. Currently we are also looking at what type of independence needs to happen internally as well, so we can rebuild the confidence of our members.
