“Mr. Speaker, as a retired police officer, I can say that only 5% or 6% of sexual assault cases in the civilian world are brought forth, and probably less so in the CAF world. Policing also depends on a lot of clarity, evidence and integrity. When we transfer that between two bodies, the civilian and the CAF, it is not going to work. How is this going to work practically speaking? If there is a mistake, who is going to be held accountable? Is it going to be the civilian world or the CAF world? That is what I would like to know.”

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 5 wordsthat is a great question.ProcedureClaims · 22 wordsI do not know if anybody is going to be held to account.That is going to be the problem with this, Reasoning · 13 wordsbecause ultimately it is an abdication of responsibility and accountability within the CAF, Claims · 33 wordswhich is what I highlighted in my speech.It is about handing this off and saying that police officers are able to deal with this.As the member noted, they are already overloaded.Reasoning · 49 wordsTheir threshold is much higher than the military’s and I think we are not going to do the victims justice.They are going to be the ones who will suffer from this and we will be back at this trying to fix this mistake a few years from now.
