Thank you very much, Madam Larouche. This is also a very important question.
The ICHR, which was what was recommended, is being introduced on June 30. That's when it will actually launch. The RCMP have been working very hard doing a number of things. The ICHR is going to focus on prevention, including awareness and education campaigns. It's going to provide access to training for supervisors. It is intended to increase trust and address concerns among the members of the RCMP with a new model, which will be independent and outside of the chain of command. It's going to use external investigators.
We're developing a roster of expert investigators from outside the RCMP who will conduct the investigations, reach conclusions and provide recommendations to restore the workplace. I believe that the external nature of this and using people outside of the chain of command will be able to provide assurance to survivors of harassment within the workplace that their complaints will be taken very seriously, that they will be believed and supported, and that there will be no repercussions or retribution for bringing harassment complaints forward.
I think it's a very important innovation, but it also requires a significant investment in the prevention of and not just the response to harassment when it occurs in the workplace.
