Thanks.
Yes. I think it was laid out in “Strong, Secure, Engaged” in 2017, in the defence policy that said we should be investing resources in improving the training and effectiveness of the rangers.
That means—and this isn't very exciting on a strategic level—making sure there are the right pay clerks in place at their different headquarters to make sure they're paid on time, and making sure they have training opportunities and abilities to get out on the land. It does not require a fundamental retooling of the Canadian Rangers. They serve as really key force enablers and force multipliers if we need to send kinetic forces—combat forces—up to the north but enable them to be those eyes and ears and those voices of the north, in the military and of the military in the north.
