Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to extend my thanks to all of my colleagues around this table. I sit on many committees and it's not often I see such good questions and thoughtful participation in what I think is a very important issue. I want to thank the chair and all of my colleagues, since this will be my final participation in this committee. It's been a pleasure working with all of you, and I hope you continue this good work and continue to value the lives of those who serve Canada.
I'll go directly to one of my questions, which will be directed to Sergeant Ryan.
Sergeant Ryan, you spoke about your participation as a medical technician and, of course, it comes to mind that, as a woman in the Canadian Armed Forces, serving as a medical technician, dealing with the issues of women's health could present a particularly interesting barrier to your practice, considering there hasn't been much attention or appetite to see many of the concerns of women's health actually addressed, and especially in light of the testimony given today.
Are CAF medics given the resources and tools they need to properly care for women in the military? I'm thinking more along the lines of having the appropriate tools—like a rape kit, for example—or the various tools that make your profession easier.
