Thank you very much.
Good morning, Minister. It's a pleasure to have you with us.
I want to talk about two things.
The external monitor, Madame Therrien, recently released a report that illustrated some of the progress DND/CAF has made towards cultural evolution, but she notes numerous times that there is still much more work to be done, particularly in streamlining the grievance process. I have to say, Minister, we did hear in this committee about some of the barriers and the aggravating components of this grievance process.
I would like to know a little about your interpretation of this report from the external monitor. Is DND/CAF effectively equipped to deal with the shortcomings she has raised?
