Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister Anand, for joining us today to answer some of our questions.
I know we recently did a study on recruitment and retention, and that's a really key issue we should be focusing a lot on. I think it has a lot to do with changing the culture of our Canadian Armed Forces as well. One of the first acts you undertook as Minister of National Defence was to accept Madam Arbour's interim report and recommendations to transfer sexual misconduct cases from the military justice system to the civilian justice system. She also recommended in her final report that the Criminal Code sexual offences be entirely removed from the jurisdiction of the military justice system and be dealt with and prosecuted in the civilian criminal court.
I know that on Monday you accepted Madam Arbour's final report, so I am wondering if you could let us know what specifically you'll be doing in regard to this recommendation.
