Thank you very much, Chair.
I do thank you all for being here tonight and for sharing your life experiences and your concerns. I hope we can learn a great deal from you.
Ms. Le Scelleur, thank you. I've read your stories and what you've shared in the media. There was a Globe and Mail article in which you said, “so just as she was working on a hypothesis that the military exacerbates mental illness and suicidal thoughts by cutting soldiers off from their social support system.”—just as you were working on that—it says, “she turned in her ID card and was escorted to the door of National Defence Headquarters. 'I started to cry,' she said. 'It was hard to believe that's how it ends.'”
Were your superiors aware of what you were working on?
