Thanks very much, Madam Chair.
I really want to respond to a couple of issues that have been raised by my opposition colleagues, because I think they're important to [Technical difficulty—Editor].
First of all, I think it's really important to note what some of the opposition members have indicated, namely, that they're not hearing members of the forces or survivors of sexual harassment and assault say they want a report to be written and finalized as soon as possible. [Technical difficulty—Editor] provide support for that, and I would turn the member's attention to the group called It's Just 700. I'll read from their Twitter bio, which says it's “Run by a group of volunteers dedicated to help current and past service members of the Canadian military who survived a work related sexual trauma find support.” They have a website and you can look up more information if you are interested.
I'll just read a couple of comments they made recently, on April 9, on their Twitter feed: “After yesterday’s testimony at the HofC standing committee on the Status of Women the survivor community eagerly awaits the release of the final report and official recommendations.” I want to keep reading: “It'sJust700 does not endorse ANY political party. The needs of affected servicemen and servicewomen don't change with who is or isn't in power.”
