Again, as I stated when I proposed the amendment, there was not a person in the House that was not appalled by this, knowing our soldiers are over there struggling for the rights of women. It was very distressful for everyone and for Canadians. I think the government has taken this issue very seriously and has stepped up to the table in a very active way. I think we, as a committee, need to acknowledge and support that we recognize and appreciate the best efforts being made by government.
