Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent question.
Obviously the problem is serious when 200 women file sexual harassment complaints against the RCMP. This has to be dealt with.
What we proposed was reasonable. We simply wanted information sessions to be held in order to open a dialogue on this issue because silence is a problem when it comes to sexual harassment and violence within the RCMP. It has to be okay to talk about this. People who bottle up things like this become stressed out and that is not good for anyone. There is a lack of communication.
We proposed something very simple and that was to hold information sessions for all members of the RCMP so that they could at least discuss the problem. The problem cannot be fixed if no one talks about it.
I do not understand why the members opposite rejected this amendment. I am very disappointed today to see that there is still no solution to such a serious problem.
