Status of Women committee  Michelle, it's sad but I would go and show The Fruit Machine to all military. Why not go right to the point and get the action done? We know it's working, it's a good movie. It's exactly as it's shown. That's a good subject, I think.

Status of Women committee  I totally agree with the round table. I am going on one today at Longue-Pointe—I think that is it. The LGBTQ community has all kinds of organizations. Here in Montreal, they are asking the help of those organizations and the army to come and to make presentations. Why not? Why n

Status of Women committee  It's the way we're going to give the roles. When I see a woman, I'm wondering how many women are teaching the men. I think that a lot of times the men are going to teach the men and the women are going to teach the women. It should be at the same level, with the women being able

Status of Women committee  I agree with that at the recruit level. I think at the recruit level it is important, but also, all along. A lot of the time, we think that it's the onboarding.

Status of Women committee  Thank you for having me. My name is Martine Roy. Right now, I work for TD Bank in LGBTQI business development. I want to say this because it is important; it is a new role.
