Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for being here this evening. I very much appreciate it. Thank you for your service as well.
I have some concerns around the issue of sexual misconduct. It's disproportionately affecting women in the Canadian Armed Forces. Instances are on the rise in the Canadian Armed Forces. In the 2018 fiscal year, there were 256 cases reported, and that number has risen every single year. There were, in this last fiscal year, 444 cases reported.
In your most recent departmental plan, there isn't a determined goal to reduce cases. It just says, in that column, “Target to be determined”. Could you expand on that a bit and explain what that means? That seems very undetermined.
