Thank you for the question.
All the programs we mentioned—the 24-7 line, the response and support coordination program, the independent legal assistance program, peer support, the restorative engagement program and the grant program—are accessible to women veterans and members of the Canadian Armed Forces. We encourage women veterans and CAF members—anyone who has been affected by sexual misconduct within our mandate—to come forward.
There is support at the 24-7 line to get immediate support from a trained counsellor on the line. If more in-depth support is needed, we have response and support coordination, where an assigned coordinator will be able to help the individual with medical appointments and accompaniment. It's a more supportive type of counselling.
The independent legal assistance program is also available to veterans. If someone has incurred eligible legal costs and requires some reimbursement, we have that first phase available to them. In our peer support program, we will be launching new formal group sessions in the new year, so we're encouraging individuals to come forward there.
If an individual is also part of the class action lawsuit, there is an opportunity for class members to come forward through a restorative process, where they can share their stories and help in terms of moving forward culture change in the broader defence team.
There are several various programs. Those are just to name a few. I would encourage individuals who have been victims or who have experienced sexual misconduct to come forward to the SMSRC.
Perhaps I'll add one more thing. If we can't provide the services, we also refer out. We have quite a wide network across the country, in terms of other organizations and support services we refer individuals to.
