Mr. Speaker, no doubt, in due course I suspect that we will have an announcement of another sole-source boondoggle.
Keeping the review of sexual assaults within the Canadian military will not change the military's way of doing things. It will not get to the bottom of the issue. It will not help those affected, nor promote confidence in the system. Experts have said that this issue needs to be handled by civilians outside the military, but instead the government is promoting a military investigation.
Does the minister really believe that victims of sexual assault will trust anything less than an independent judicial inquiry?
