I think I was talking about the “Respect in the CAF” workshop, which was noted in the OAG report as definitely a very valuable approach to attitude and belief-changing. Respect in the CAF is facilitated by expert facilitators who are all civilians. It's a day-long process where they look at everything from unconscious bias as it affects decision-making to how to consider the position of those affected by sexual misconduct and incidents. It also covers things such as bystander intervention training, which is an industry standard in this area. It helps everybody with the decision tool on how you can actually apply this because very often people are shocked when they witness incidents of sexual misconduct throughout the whole spectrum. That was the kind of training I wanted to bring to your attention.
The key is that it isn't just churning people through. It's looking at what the outcomes of this are, starting with how they feel and what they feel they got out of it right after the session. Also, as we move forward and develop the performance management framework, what are the impacts of these interventions?
Lastly, there is the continuous cycle of improvement. As we migrate these processes over to the SMRC, this program includes subject-matter experts to make sure that the training remains on track and accurate, and also that it doesn't cause “death by PowerPoint”. It's going beyond that. It allows for open discussion, which I think is an incredibly valuable learning tool. Members of the Canadian Armed Forces are responding very well to it so far.
I think that may have been my comment.
