Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
To the witnesses, thank you so much for coming and helping us. The reason we're doing this study, as you know, is a result of the complaints and issues raised with many of the women in the RCMP. That's the reason we're actually looking at this. I appreciate the fact that you've reviewed your mandate and your policy and are making changes.
Further to that, these numbers that we're talking about give us great concern. You've done that survey of over 200,000 people, gathered in different categories, and one-third of them speak of harassment. The very issue of sexual harassment is the one that we're very focused on.
One of the suggestions is this. Would it be possible for you to go back and do a survey and be more specific? It is important for us to know. It's a difficult issue for people to complain about. It's difficult for many of the women in the RCMP to go forward and lodge a complaint. They're dealing with their superiors, and that doesn't change in any of our departments here. You said a small number actually came forward and lodged these complaints, granted, but I would suspect they were very concerned about their jobs. People do not come forward lightly.
Have you given consideration to possibly quite soon going forward and trying to do another survey on this whole issue, without it being too complex, to try to narrow it down during the same time we're trying to do this study?
