Status of Women committee  You touched very eloquently on one of the things that we've heard in Veterans Affairs, and that is that when you join, your personality and your resilience are destroyed to make you somehow tougher. It means that in coming back to civil society, there is this inability to relate

Status of Women committee  Yes, and it's interesting. I have something written by Marie-Claude here, and she talks about being sexually assaulted, asking for help and being directed to the Sexual Misconduct Response Centre phone line, but it had been discontinued. Has that resource been put in place again?

Status of Women committee  Thank you. I think the more evidence we have, the better prepared we are to write a report. It sounds like a hazing.

Status of Women committee  Was there a feeling that the military or those who had power over you didn't want women and didn't want LBGTQ individuals? Was it that they simply wanted them gone and would do whatever it took to get rid of them?

Status of Women committee  In terms of victim support, the Auditor General wrote a report about the situation in the military, and he was very critical.

Status of Women committee  I would love to hear from more of you.

Status of Women committee  I was going to ask you about women aboard ship. You're at close quarters, far away from a port. Have you any recommendations in regard to how you look after the safety of the women and the trans members of the crew?

Status of Women committee  Okay. Thank you. Madame Douglas, I think in 2015 Madame Deschamps came to this committee and talked about how hopeful she was about Operation Honour. But here we are, five years later, and it doesn't feel as if we've made a lot of progress. You talked about only a few safe plac

Status of Women committee  Thank you. Madame Roy, you talked about the need for balance, more women in the military. What do you think are the main barriers to recruiting and retaining women who are lesbian, gay, transgender, two-spirit? What is the issue here in regard to why they don't come to the mili

Status of Women committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Thank you to our witnesses. Your determination is inspiring, truly, and so is your courage. I also want to say thank you for your service.
