Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her presentation.
However, we are left wondering why it has taken so long to introduce this bill and why the proposed measures, which we generally support, were not introduced along with those that went into effect in September 2018.
There is one question that has gone unanswered, and I hope that the member will be able to enlighten me. Acts of self-harm continue to be considered an offence in the military justice system.
What protections will the Liberals put in place to ensure that members of the military have access to mental health services without fear of reprisal or disciplinary action?
