Mr. Chair,
thank you for the question.
I think Canada, in fact, and the CF lead the way in terms of having women integrated into the CF to begin with. If we look at the operations we've conducted in the south, and even our training now, we've had women who are specialists in civil-military interface, and they've gone into the communities and they've engaged with women specifically. Your question was whether we have enough women to be effective. I think we have them deployed in the right areas.
I'm at a little bit of a loss here because I would want to have one of my military colleagues from the strategic joint staff answer that in detail for you, and I'm very happy to get those numbers for you.
But certainly in terms of the operations, women are fully integrated throughout the Canadian Forces—which is still pretty unique, even in the NATO family—and deployed in every imaginable way on every mission, whether it's in Haiti for disaster relief or in Afghanistan for training purposes. I feel fairly confident in saying yes.
I don't know if Foreign Affairs would like to add to that.
