National Defence committee  Sir, could you rephrase that? Do you mean this situation or multiple situations?

National Defence committee  Sir, again, I think if I were to answer that question, it may put the complainant into a position where she may be uncomfortable or that may identify her, so I'm going to have to refer back to CFNIS for that information.

National Defence committee  Sir, I'd have to look at the timeline again, but the report made to me about the sexual misconduct regarding Admiral McDonald was on February 3. I'd have to look back at the newsfeeds on when it came out about General Vance. I can't answer that right now. I'm sorry.

National Defence committee  Ma'am, are you speaking about the actual act of the sexual misconduct or the report that came to me?

National Defence committee  Again, because the matter is with the Canadian Forces national investigation service, and I have an obligation to the complainant, if I get into any detail, I could be put in a position where I'm either breaching CFNIS—

National Defence committee  That, again, ma'am, I am going to have to refer to CFNIS.

National Defence committee  Sir, I can speak to my experiences and I'll keep it to that. I think Operation Honour is a step in the right direction. It has enabled people who would otherwise potentially feel uncomfortable by giving them a platform. In recent history, the #MeToo movement and how it played

National Defence committee  Sir, I believe the Canadian Armed Forces is prioritizing its implementation, but I think your question is referring to how management and leadership are passing the information with respect to, say, the analytics that fall out of OPHTAS: where the problem areas are, how we can ad

National Defence committee  To answer your question, ma'am, I don't. With my rank and position and my access to the GEDS database, it was very difficult for me to authenticate the information, but based off the conversation that I was having and the fact that she was calling me back with information about m

National Defence committee  Yes, ma'am.

National Defence committee  She did try to redirect me to a more appropriate place. I can't get into the headspace about why she did or didn't want to. Again, because this is a difficult situation for me to know where to report it, I needed to hear it out. I needed to hear the points of view. I'm sorry. I

National Defence committee  I'm sorry, ma'am. The first three seconds of your question were cut out there. Could you repeat it?

National Defence committee  Nobody from the Canadian Forces outside of the CFNIS has followed up with me about it, other than once the story hit the news and my name got into the news. Then I had tons of support from the chain of command about it, but not necessarily about this incident.

National Defence committee  Could you try to reframe that so I better understand it?

National Defence committee  I would say that's above my pay grade, but what I can comment on is only what I observed. From my limited experience, I can say that it appears that senior officers seem to get special treatment when there are sexual misconduct allegations. I think that's maybe because the people
