“This bill makes important changes to the military justice system. I want to know how these changes will help women and people of colour who were abused, and encourage them to join the armed forces.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my esteemed colleague for her hard work. She has been working on implementing these changes for a long time. As she explained in her speech, many changes have been made. Almost all of Justice Arbour’s recommendations have been implemented. I believe this is an important step for justice and for people who want to work in the armed forces. I would like to ask my colleague the following question. For racialized people, for women who have been victims of abuse of power, can she explain to us what we can expect regarding these changes aimed at encouraging more women and people of colour to apply to join the armed forces?”
