I have functional authority for overseeing the revitalization of the naval reserves from one that had been predominantly, as I testified, based on delivering a specific mission in the Kingston class, and the sustainment challenges that came with that. In the last while, we've reoriented that to a strategic augmentation mission, allowing our reservists to serve in all classes. We've set threshold numbers. We've also provided them with non-standing but targeted to citizen-sailor kind of mission opportunities, such as a naval security team. I've just spent this past weekend with our reserves doing a regional boat exercise, and I can tell you that they're jazzed, they're excited about the opportunity to contribute as citizen-sailors once again.
Recruitment has actually increased in the naval reserves—one, because of that relevance piece that I've just talked about, the opportunity we're presenting to them; and two, a dedicated effort that we've made to own reserve recruiting, to reinvest in each of our 24 naval reserve divisions. We're seeing positive results as a result of that. Just this past weekend, in HMCS Malahat here in Victoria, they talked to me about this being a banner year for the recruitment of almost 20 sailors, with the year not even yet complete.
