National Defence committee  Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. I really appreciate all your efforts today. I've really appreciated the very thoughtful and excellent presentations by my colleagues before me. My comments are going to probably add a bit more colour to the comments that my colleagues have made so

National Defence committee  I think the other way of asking it, although I know it's a bit of an unfair question, is what confidence do you have that there is confidence in the current system for reporting—i.e., you can actually go out and say that this system is one you would want to engage in, should ther

National Defence committee  We don't have time for you to go through the definition of sexual misconduct, but I'm assuming there's quite a range of sexual misconduct—

National Defence committee  Do you have an idea of the take-up rates at the moment?

National Defence committee  Of course. I think that's it. Thank you so much.
