Mr. Speaker, I indicated that I had no statistical information which would indicate that it is any worse than in Canadian society.
I would also say that it runs against the core values of Canadians and of the vast majority of the men and women in our Canadian forces.
What the hon. member does not seem to have heard is that I also said that what I read in those articles with respect to that kind of conduct, behaviour and attitude is disgusting. That kind of behaviour is not going to be allowed in the Canadian forces. We have taken action and will continue to take action.
