That's an excellent question. As I said in my remarks, women are 50% of the future recruiting pool. If we don't fix this, if we don't make CAF and the RCMP the employers of the 21st century, a place where women can go and serve and feel respected, safe and valued, then we're not going to be able to hire women. In the military, as time goes on, it's about the brain power we're wasting. We're wasting brain power. Brilliant women are having to deal with and put up with a system that's 100 years old. It needs to change, but it takes leadership to change it and the will. We need the will and the acknowledgement that this is what's going on.
It's not just the military or the RCMP. This kind of thing happens in our society as a whole. I think in the military—because we track things, do statistics and follow up on cases when there has been abuse and neglect—we're always targeted first, but I would say that the same thing happens in just about every single workplace in this country. Women are mistreated.
I would say this to the government, to CAF, to VAC and to the RCMP: Lead the way. You know how to lead. You know what needs to be done. Set the example. If the rest of the country looks at CAF and sees that they have this figured out and people want to be part of that organization, then CAF will want the same thing, with the same quality of candidate working for them.
That's what I would say: You know what leadership is and you know what needs to get done. I think there are some tweaks and some advice we could possibly offer in that regard, but choose to be the example of the future. The whole country will be better off because of it.
