Madam Chair, we absolutely have to create an armed forces where all feel not only physically safe, but psychologically safe as well, where all members feel that they truly belong, where they can speak up when they see something that doesn't look right, and where they can feel free to identify that as an issue.
That was one of my key messages to our general and flag officer cadre about creating that command climate where all feel safe, where all feel included. It's that type of culture change. We have to get right down to the lowest level. Part of that is understanding the power dynamics I've talked about, but very shortly we're going to be producing a much more proscriptive code of professional military conduct. This goes beyond our current doctrinal manual, “Duty with Honour”, to add much more detail as to what is expected under each of our values, and then we need to hold ourselves to account.
