Mr. Speaker, I have serious concerns with one of the things the member mentioned in a response not too long ago, that the systems are working. It is very clear that the systems are, in fact, not working and they are especially not working for women in the military.
If Vance's appointment was an at-pleasure appointment, which allows for the appointee to be removed from office without cause, with cause or by any operation of law, why was General Vance not removed as chief of the defence staff when the minister was made aware of serious allegations? When is the government going to start picking women in the military over leadership?
