Thank you very much.
I'll focus my questions on General Whelan.
Thank you very much for being here this evening.
A lot of what we have been talking about, and you mentioned it today as well, is making sure there are trauma-informed supports for those who've experienced sexual misconduct. Then the next step after that is to make sure we're preventing it. That's when we talk about the culture change and getting rid of the toxic masculinity, and the processes that are in place to try to prevent the negative experiences that men, women and non-binary and transgendered people may feel.
However, it's more than that. Your position is also to create a welcoming, inclusive and positive environment where every single person, including women joining the Canadian Armed Forces, can thrive.
I heard child care mentioned. I know that's very important, and support for families. I know there's a Seamless Canada initiative looking at health and well-being as a total well-being, including the kinds of training that people can have, the mentorship of women at every step of the way throughout their career to make sure they have that kind of mentorship, and what we do in terms of recruitment and retention. I know that's a big question.
It's not enough to stop the problems; we also have to make sure we build a better environment and create a positive solution.
Perhaps you could talk a little bit about the work that's ongoing, and has been ongoing for some time, in those areas.
