I want to welcome everybody today to the 27th meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Today the committee is resuming our study on sexual misconduct within the Canadian Armed Forces.
The meeting will take place in hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of January 25, 2021, and the proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website.
The matters we're discussing today are extremely sensitive, so I know that all members of the committee will show great respect—
