Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you all for joining us today. We are really happy to hear from you.
I will have a few very specific questions for you, Ms. Doyon, but first of all, I will turn to the official from the Treasury Board Secretariat.
According to the survey that was conducted, 10,000 employees responded of the 12,211 male and female employees in your department. That is an excellent participation rate. Of those 10,000 employees, 28% of women said that they were subject to harassment, and of those women, 44% stated that they were subject to gender-based discrimination. That means that this struck a chord with 1,232 women of the 10,000 respondents.
We would also like to congratulate you on your awareness initiatives. That's very important in those types of situations.
I am really wondering about something. When the victims, the complainants, file a harassment complaint, the person who is the subject to the complaint is notified, correct? I am talking here about the person complained about.
