Thank you very much to our witnesses.
We've heard that as a result of cutbacks the alternative dispute resolution centres and services are being reduced across the country. I have a background in conflict resolution. The loss of the kind of services for any member to come forward with any sort of harassment allegation is critical, let alone sexual harassment.
Do you believe that the reduction in alternative dispute resolution centres across the country will affect the number of cases of sexual misconduct that would come to your office? Do you see any other complications that this could cause for individuals in the forces who experience sexual harassment or sexual misconduct?
