It's interesting. Certainly there seem to be some lessons to be learned from the work you're doing.
One of the issues we've discussed is the importance of exit surveys, which is a gap in the work that the RCMP does. There's no question there are some differences all across the board.
We're aware that in the 2009 national report to the Committee on Women in NATO Forces it was reported that a comprehensive analysis of exit survey data from 2005-2008 was under way as part of monitoring the rate of attrition for female members of the Canadian Forces. The report indicates that the analysis would be used to determine the factors “which prompt female members to leave the CF” and would be used to make recommendations of corrective measures.
Can you tell the committee whether this analysis included consideration of sexual harassment as a possible reason for departure from the forces, and if so, to what extent was it an issue?
