Mr. Speaker, victims of sexual assault and harassment in the Canadian Armed Forces launched a class action lawsuit in May.
On January 29, in response to my question on sexual violence and harassment, the Prime Minister said, “This is a problem that has gone on for far too long, and it is time we dealt with it, particularly here in Parliament, where we set an example for the rest of the country.”
However, by attempting to quash the lawsuit, the example the Prime Minister is setting is completely irresponsible and reprehensible.
Will the Prime Minister withdraw the government's attempts to discredit these victims?
