Thank you, Chair.
Good afternoon, witnesses.
Lieutenant-Colonel Luc-Frederic Gilbert told CBC news that the Canadian military was forced to relocate about 30% of its 200 trainers in Ukraine to bases west of the Dnieper River because of the threat of Russian invasion.
How does that deter Russians from invading? Would they not be more likely to hold off on invading if they knew they would have to face the Canadian troops?
The question is for Major General Prévost. If the department and Ms. McCardell would like to weigh in on it, that would be great.
