Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both witnesses for being here today to speak to us on such an important topic.
Mr. Leuprecht and Ms. Perry, your opening statements were quite informative.
My first question is for Ms. Perry.
In your opening statement, you referred to the link between the far right and the anti-women movement, if I understood correctly. I'd like to hear more about that.
You also mentioned at the end of your remarks the radicalization of members of the Canadian Armed Forces, or CAF. I know that, in November 2020, the University of New Brunswick gave you and researcher David Hofmann a $750,000 grant to carry out a three-year study on hateful ideologies and extremism within the CAF. According to the announcement, you had ongoing conversations with General Jonathan Vance, the then chief of the defence staff, who had sought out your advice and expertise.
Can you tell us why the former chief of the defence staff reached out to you for your expertise?
I'm especially interested in the advice and recommendations you gave the former chief of the defence staff. As your research reveals, sexism and misogyny are common threads in right-wing extremist groups.
What advice did you give the former chief of the defence staff who wanted to address the problem in the CAF?
