One thing that has caused many problems is that they have put the new members, the young members, in areas that are far away from their home and far way from anywhere they have strong social relations. They are put in areas they don't know. They are put in areas where they're completely isolated. If it's the north and it's a small precinct, they can have many difficulties but nobody to talk to. It creates a big problem.
The other thing, of course, is that a lot of these women have children. The system has not accommodated women very much. We've talked a lot about the fact that they don't replace the women who are on maternity leave. That creates a problem with the men, who get more work to do to compensate for the fact that the women aren't there. But there are other problems as well, such as when the spouse is also in the RCMP and they don't put them in the same place, or when they put them in places where there's no day care for their children.
All of the social aspects are very important if you're going to have women in the police who are satisfied with their working conditions. It can't be just not to be subject to harassment; it has to be to accommodate the fact that, according to me, it must be very hard for a woman to be in general policing and have young children. If you separate her from her social support, if you don't put her in the same place as her husband for months at a time, it seems to me you're not really managing the situation correctly.
