I have a couple of quick thoughts, realizing the time.
I would start by saying that his has been an extraordinarily difficult week in an extraordinarily difficult time already. I appreciate what Parliament decided in their vote on Wednesday.
I was pleased to come here. What has motivated me through this week has been focusing on an issue that I am incredibly passionate about and that I feel extremely strongly about. I do know that all of you do too. I know that Parliament does. I know that if we can all put our collective minds together, we can truly make the change happen that the women and men in our Canadian Armed Forces, and some of you here who have served in the Canadian Armed Forces, all deserve to see happen. That is what we need to stay focused on. We need to stay focused on that before almost anything else and certainly before partisanship. I think that has been the most disappointing thing that I have experienced this week as someone who, since I was a little girl, has revered that place up on the Hill from where I am now.
I really hope we can all focus on what this committee is studying right now, which is sexual misconduct and how we address it in the armed forces.
