Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here and for bringing your expertise on such an important topic.
Mr. Drapeau and Mr. Fowler, thank you for your service to Canada.
Justice Deschamps' recommendation eight, with regard to civilian and military prosecution frameworks, recommends allowing victims—I prefer to use the term “survivors”—the choice to request civilian or military prosecution.
Mr. Fowler, could you speak to that? I've heard from multiple survivors that they are seeking this as an option for Bill C-11.
