I wanted to say that the committee members need not be confused by my suggestion. The chaplain knows the procedures of the military. Obviously, we don't want him to reveal the victims' secrets. In any case, he won't. You can't underestimate the chaplain. He knows what he can say and what he can do. He has spoken publicly before.
The main thing I want to do is take advantage of his expertise, because he is aware of the army's procedures. In this committee, we are trying to clarify what has not worked and what still does not work, to give victims confidence. For example, we have seen that the issue of procedures has caused problems for many people. So I would like him to come and talk to us about what he knows about procedures, especially. The goal is to help victims and abusers regain their confidence and be able to testify. I want him to come and share with us his experience as a chaplain, plain and simple.
It's not so that he can come and reveal secrets from witnesses, of course, but so that he can tell us about what he knows, especially about the procedures. This is a very important issue. That's what's at the heart of the issue right now. As we have seen, many victims have testified about a problem with procedures. It is from that perspective that I would like the chaplain to come and testify.
