Status of Women committee  Thank you for the question. I'm here speaking only on behalf of the military police group. This really isn't within my area of expertise in terms of the alternative dispute resolution areas.

Status of Women committee  Not to my knowledge. If there is any belief or doubt as to whether or not the offence goes into the criminal realm, that it's either an offence under the code of service discipline or the Criminal Code, it will come to the military police, and we will investigate it. As to the rates of sexual harassment, I'm not aware of any concerns at our level at this time.

Status of Women committee  There are numerous vehicles or means to make a complaint. If they don't feel comfortable going to their supervisor, what they should do is go to the next level of supervision, i.e., that supervisor's supervisor. They can certainly go to the harassment adviser for the unit, who again has an obligation to act and to report any conduct of that nature to the commanding officer.

Status of Women committee  I'll speak for my headquarters. If there is a circumstance where somebody feels that he or she has been sexually harassed, that person should report it to his or her supervisor. That supervisor has an obligation, particularly if they're military, under QR&Os; 4.02 and 5.0 to report any incident of wrongdoing.

Status of Women committee  I don't track, and we in the military police don't track, incidents of sexual harassment or harassment. The chief military personnel does the tracking of that. They have a tracking system. The specifics of that I really can't get into. It's not within my realm. However, I've been the commanding officer of headquarters now for almost two years and I've seen no incidents of sexual harassment, and certainly no trends to indicate that we have a problem.

Status of Women committee  Again, I think we would look at that incident and we would contact the other unit and communicate with that other unit to ensure that the behaviour is corrected and that the facts of the case are investigated and appropriate action is taken.

Status of Women committee  I'm not aware of any online tools right now. I do know there is training available. I think the director general military careers or the chief military personnel might be better suited to answer that question. I can tell you that when I first got there at the headquarters in 2011, I issued my initial guidance.

Status of Women committee  Major Langlois does not have a statement.

Status of Women committee  Thank you for the question. Really, the harassment policy for the Canadian Forces lies within the director general of military careers and chief of military personnel command, so I really don't deal with the establishment of those policies or the establishment of training centres.

Status of Women committee  Good morning, Madam Chair and members of the committee. I am here today with Major Langlois. He is the legal advisor to the Canadian Forces provost marshal and the commander of the Canadian Forces Military Police Group. He is assigned to the Military Police Group and reports to the director law, military justice operations division of the judge advocate general.
