“I want the member to say more about how soldiers were afraid to report problems because they feared punishment or harm to their careers. That fear is why we made this change.”
“Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank my colleague for his great work on the national defence committee. I would like the member to elaborate a bit about what we heard in terms of members of the Canadian Armed Forces who would not come forward to file complaints out of fear of retribution and that their careers would be limited, and that is why we brought forward Justice Arbour’s recommendation.”
