Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I think it's now clear what we've learned at committee—that is, that there was an accusation of sexual misconduct against General Vance, that there was no investigation, and that there were no consequences for him as a result of that.
We've also heard a lot about what happened in the intervening time to try to tackle sexual misconduct in the military. It's clear that those measures were ineffective, and it may have something to do with the fact that the person in charge had an obvious conflict of interest, because we now know he has been subject to multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
We have a ministerial system of government here, but no one has taken responsibility either for the failure to investigate General Vance and leaving him in office or for the general failure to make progress on sexual misconduct in the military.
Therefore, my question really is, how can we make progress? How can we go forward? How can we give confidence to those who are serving in the military now that sexual misconduct will be taken seriously, if there have been no consequences for the senior military leaders and no minister has ever taken responsibility?
