Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I guess my concern still remains that we had someone come forward with a substantiated allegation of sexual misconduct. We know that, in effective policies dealing with sexual misconduct and sexual assault, victims who come forward have to be believed until there's some reason not to believe them. In this case, we had a credible allegation for which the military ombudsman had evidence that the minister—you, Minister—refused to look at.
You've invited.... You said a few minutes ago you've invited personal questions about this. I want to ask about your relationship with General Vance. How long have you known General Vance, and what were the circumstances under which you first met?
