Madam Chair, I thank my colleague for the question.
I will take this opportunity to mention that we work really well together at the Standing Committee on National Defence.
That is part of what all members want to work on, in other words, recruitment and retention within the Canadian Armed Forces. It is about improving the image of the forces, which has been tarnished over the past few years. It is important for the protection of Canadians and Quebeckers here at home, but also for our ability to respond internationally when required, especially in a context of climate change. There is a risk of increasing pressure on many levels. Is it not the role of the forces to intervene in those cases? It is worth discussing.
However, we will not be able to intervene if there is no one in the forces, and we see that is currently a challenge.
