Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for their testimony today and I want to start with Mr. Sauvé. I thank him for talking about healthy work-life balance. This is an area I'd like to dig into just a little bit, because workers and their conditions—their life conditions and their housing conditions—are all very important, and I wonder if it's time that we modernize how we support workers.
I want to ask Mr. Sauvé about root causes of retention and recruitment. Previously in this study we've heard a lot from the care economy and we know that work is very gendered. Policing has also traditionally been very gendered. I just want to get a feel for the kinds of working conditions that police need these days to have a healthy work-life balance and what the federal government could do.
You mentioned recognizing that as a first step, but what are other things we could do to support police retention and recruitment?
