00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:05.100
You say that there have been examples where the department his staff unquote ten

00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:10.600
to the information that could be unflattering to the military and to the

00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:15.530
department could you provided with some examples of that and are they ongoing?

00:00:15.530 --> 00:00:17.180
Well, certainly certainly

00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:22.120
they are ongoing in fact probably the most clear example of that is the

00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:27.770
most recent one we provided a report on issues

00:00:27.770 --> 00:00:32.170
faced by military members their families and others as they are posted

00:00:32.170 --> 00:00:36.750
outside of canada there are a number recommendations in that report as

00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:41.250
well as observations and issues that we found we found in discussions with

00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:47.370
stakeholders in the department members of the members of the administration

00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:50.940
and the military who work on these issues they received

00:00:50.940 --> 00:00:56.310
our report very positively we had to wait six

00:00:56.310 --> 00:01:02.320
months for the minister and the minister's office to respond just to make knowledge...we had set

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:08.350
the report in december is not even a cogent response to it that is the

00:01:08.350 --> 00:01:14.100
...well it's not very sensitive information that is the type of.

00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:16.290
Issues that we're trying to address in

00:01:16.290 --> 00:01:21.060
...legislation that we're putting forward today a mandated timeline for

00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:25.900
response to an issue mandated with a timeline by me.

00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:30.450
Without that type of our ministers offices and others can

00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:33.510
set on issues can sit on recommendations and

00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:38.910
take no action that is not acceptable to those that we represent thanks

00:01:40.670 --> 00:01:41.790
And,...follow-up.

00:01:42.850 --> 00:01:47.890
You say in your opening statement that when leaders turn a blind eye to our recommendations

00:01:47.890 --> 00:01:52.130
...turn to...political interest in their own the self-preservation

00:01:52.130 --> 00:01:56.630
...career advancement who are you talking about certainly

00:01:56.630 --> 00:02:02.440
...about the minister or were you all were you talking about like senior leadership within

00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:06.340
the military well I think it can be definitely

00:02:06.340 --> 00:02:10.860
...senior leadership in the military in the department and it could be

00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:12.860
...leadership at any level

00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:16.330
became because what we're seeing across the department in terms

00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:21.280
of sexual misconduct in terms of other abuses of authority from poll and,

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.960
the interference for lack of action by politicians

00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.130
were seeing that committee were seeing the filibuster...we're seeing the lack

00:02:30.130 --> 00:02:34.740
ofrather political foot dragging at committees in order to

00:02:34.740 --> 00:02:39.770
make to make political points we're but we're also seeing these issues

00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:44.400
across every level of the department we see it in the complaints took that come to

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:49.380
us every day so it is not simply a politician it is the lack of

00:02:49.380 --> 00:02:54.140
an action the rewarding in action and the

00:02:54.140 --> 00:03:01.680
lack of reward for the courageous that come forward that is what we want to change?
