National Defence committee  I'll jump in. Yes, that's exactly right. I think we took a really hard look at the SSE experience and the implementation experience as we did the policy development work for the policy update. There was a lot in SSE that was right, and then there was a lot in SSE we thought we could do better at.

National Defence committee  There are no specific initiatives to deal just purely with that role of the Canadian Armed Forces, but as you will have seen in the update, there's a series of initiatives to ensure improvements and increases in the overall readiness of the Canadian Armed Forces. Obviously, for deployments, it takes training, people, infrastructure and equipment.

National Defence committee  I don't have much to add. That's exactly it. The skills that the UN is looking for from countries like Canada are things like specialized training and capacity building. These are things we can offer to other countries to help them deploy peacekeeping operations.

National Defence committee  Thank you, Chair. Thank you for the kind introduction. I can answer, and maybe the chief will want to jump in afterwards. As part of the process for the consultations for the development of this policy, of course, as you can well imagine, we did consult allies extensively, among other stakeholders.
