Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to thank you, Rear Admiral Patterson, for your work as champion for women in the Canadian defence forces and for your very important testimony here this morning.
I want to ask a question, which you can decline to answer if it puts you in an awkward situation. I would like to know whether you have been consulted, at this point, by the current chief of the defence staff on measures to help restore trust in the military's commitment to rooting out sexual misconduct.
