Status of Women has a leadership role in Canada, not just for the federal workplace but for all workplaces. What Status of Women Canada is able to do in terms of setting a research agenda, whether it is their own agenda or contracting out to researchers like me and Professor Berdahl, is to drive the kinds of questions that we're asking and the kinds of information that we think we need to get in dealing with workplace harassment and violence.
I also think the guidelines that you put out and put in place for what employers need to think about in terms of the leadership needed, the training that may be needed, and information on the role of bystander intervention and such, is essential for those of us who work in the field and the employers that are looking for guidance, not just from the Human Rights Commission or from lawyers but also from a more holistic perspective.
Status of Women Canada could start to contribute to and really enhance and broaden the agenda in terms of what we expect our employers to do. The benefits of the recommendations that you're going to put in place for the federal government, for the RCMP in particular, will be very helpful for municipal fire departments and police departments, as well as companies in general, because these have the potential to come from a broader perspective than some of the materials we see coming out from a purely research and purely HR perspectives.
