Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I would like to thank our witness for being here this morning.
I would still like to recall that, clearly, the official opposition recognizes the extent of the sacrifices made by our soldiers and our military, as well as the importance of being able to recognize that commitment and that bravery. We support our Canadian armed forces, as well as the objectives of this bill. However, as we have mentioned previously, some aspects of the bill seem to contain some gaps and some ambiguities. Hence the questions we have for you this morning.
To begin, I would like to remind you that, during the debate that took place at second reading, you were not able to tell us the number of people that this bill might affect. Are you able today to tell us the number of permanent residents who enlist in the Canadian armed forces each year and who would benefit from this bill?
