Thank you, Chair, and thank you to our guests for being here today.
In preparing for this meeting, we get a bit of background information. In this committee, we've heard a lot of valuable information about the experiences of female Canadian Armed Forces veterans. I'm pleased to get the opportunity to speak with you today, because the RCMP Depot is in Regina, which just borders my riding. I have some close friends there and I'm very excited to have you here.
Finding information on the specific experiences of female RCMP members is not that simple. Even academic studies often noted that information on the experiences of RCMP women veterans was simply not found. With this lack of research and information, one of the challenges we are facing when it comes to RCMP veterans is that there's just not a lot of information, so to have you here today is important.
Is that something that should go into our report—the lack of information?
