Madam Speaker, we are committed to taking further action to eliminate sexual misconduct. In addition to the $236 million that I mentioned in budget 2021, we will have more to announce in the coming days and weeks. We need to make it easy and accessible for anyone at any level to report an incident and they need to have confidence in those reporting mechanisms. That is why we are developing an independent reporting structure to look at all allegations.

As the minister of defence and the Prime Minister have stated, all options are on the table. We will continue to be guided by fairness and respect for the rule of law. The integrity of independent investigations must be upheld because, as my hon. colleague has said, our members deserve a just process and fair outcomes.
