Mr. Speaker, National Defence is committed to building an inclusive and diverse defence team, free from harassment, discrimination, racism, sexual misconduct and violence.
That is why the Minister of National Defence accepted former Supreme Court Justice Arbour’s independent external comprehensive review in its entirety and welcomed all 48 recommendations in the report. She also committed to immediately implement 17 recommendations.
The minister further committed to updating Parliament by the end of the year and looks forward to doing so.
