Thank you very much, Chair.
My first question is for Minister Ali.
As a member of Parliament here in Ottawa and representing Kanata, I have many constituents who are public servants, of course, and who I hear from on a regular basis on a variety of different issues. I myself had the pleasure of being a public servant for the first 13 years of my career.
Interestingly enough, last weekend, I had a conversation with a constituent who works at ESDC. She was sharing with me that there's a voluntary list right now to which employees are able to add their names if they wish to be considered for a position or an opportunity in DND.
I thought it was really interesting that this is happening right now. I'd love to hear any more that you can share on this initiative or the steps we're taking to ensure highly skilled public servants have opportunities in areas where we are investing.
