I can't talk about the armed forces, but I can talk about the RCMP.
There are a number of people—a relative of mine and other female members who presently serve in the RCMP—and I say with all the sincerity I can that they report a different institutional attitude. I believe the lady on the screen visiting us in hybrid format said the same thing. It's almost a phase three. The stars are beginning to come together, and I believe that women now have the strength to speak that they never had before and that the institutions have the motivation to listen. Nobody likes to fail.
I hear good things. I was at a regimental dinner very recently, and half the people there were females. They are so proud of the work they were doing. They are empowered and leading important things. Nobody sees that as amazing anymore, which to me is a big sign that we've come a long way.
