Thank you, Chair. Thanks to the witnesses for coming today.
We have been hearing from various witnesses in this study. One complaint that we have heard from many witnesses in the course of the last weeks is that the complaint process is administered by their chain of command, although often the problem resides within that chain of command.
One suggestion given to us is to have the process be completely independent, handled by a separate organization within the Canadian Armed Forces and DND. Do you think this is a feasible suggestion?
I will start with Ms. Patterson.
