Mr. Speaker, does the minister understand how urgent this situation really is?
According to the report by Justice Deschamps, harassment and sexual assault are not taken seriously by senior staff and leaders in the Canadian Armed Forces. The report clearly accuses the Canadian Armed Forces of maintaining a culture that is hostile toward women. That is a disgrace to Canada. It is degrading and insulting to all of the women who protect and defend our country.
Does the minister realize how serious this situation is and is he prepared to personally commit to changing it?
