Thank you for the question, Mr. Sarai.
I was not actually at the 2019 conference. I went to the conference that was organized this year in February, in Ottawa, that focused on women and LGBTQ2S+ issues, which was very interesting.
I think what we would like to see front and centre is better training for the people at VAC who deal with women veterans so that they develop a better understanding of women's issues in the overall context of the different kinds of things that women face during their careers, depending on the work they do.
I'm certainly speaking here primarily for the RCMP. I'm not aware of everything that goes on at CAF.
I think developing specialized...or subject matter experts on diverse communities within the organization would be helpful. Also, I think what is key and what I understand is fairly lacking right now is trauma awareness. I understand there is training and education for that, which is very important.
I think it's probably easier dealing with the physical issues that women veterans have, rather than the psychological ones. When the representatives from the RCMP spoke with you back in October, I personally was surprised at the emphasis that they were putting on changes to kit and equipment. That's fine. That's probably the easy stuff. The hard stuff is actually dealing with the effects of toxic workplaces and toxic leadership on the people who are in those situations.
