In your opening remarks, you talked about invisibility. On May 1 the committee heard from Colonel Lisa Noonan of the Canadian Armed Forces transition group. I want to share with you what she said and get your reaction to it, given that you talked about invisibility.
Here's what she said to us:
That “invisible” thing that someone mentioned before is, I think, becoming less prominent. Now we're starting to look at specific programs, no matter what domain we're talking about, whether it be health services, transition services, recruiting, retention, etc., that are specifically geared to females in the CAF. That's a very new phenomenon over the last four or five years, in particular.
Given that your service is fairly recent—I understand you stepped away in 2021—I'd be interested in your reaction to the testimony we got from Colonel Noonan.
