Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to go back to Mr. Wernick, about personnel changes at senior levels in the Canadian military. I think the distinction between what this committee is doing and a broader study is that we set out to discover why no action was taken when there were serious allegations against General Vance, and how he remained in office for three years.
That really is a way of getting at this question of confidence that the senior leadership understands and will respond to allegations of sexual misconduct. With all the changes that were taking place, it seems curious to me, especially in view of the government's professed feminism and in view of the #MeToo movement, that women were not moved into senior command positions in the Canadian military between 2015 and 2021. Was that a part of the discussions you would have had with the minister or discussions you would have had with the Prime Minister's Office?
