Mr. Speaker, those are improper steps.
Three years ago the Prime Minister was told by the Privy Council and by his office that the ombudsman was not the appropriate figure to investigate sexual misconduct allegations. It was up to his Minister of National Defence or himself. Those are the two leaders that men and women in the Canadian Armed Forces are looking to for leadership. Both of them failed in this instance.
Will the Prime Minister stand in this House and acknowledge that they failed this woman serving her country?
