It is our understanding that there are approximately 1 million current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces and current and former employees of the Department of National Defence and the Staff of the Non-Public Funds, some of whom may have been affected by Sexual Misconduct while working in the military workplace and who may be class members for purposes of this class action settlement. 2. The Government of Canada will use its internal and external networks to provide direct and indirect notice to class members. The reach of this notice to current members and employees is expected to be high; the precise reach of this notice with respect to former members less certain. Accordingly, a supplementary notice campaign which includes radio advertisements, and other digital and print media sources is desired. 3. Effective reach and notice content is desired to convey the importance of the information affecting class members? rights. Objective To design a notice program that will effectively reach likely Class Members and capture their attention with notice communicated in clear, concise, plain language so that their rights and options may be fully understood.
