I wasn't here for the testimony last week, due to illness, but I have read it. We heard from members of the Canadian Forces that clause 1 of this bill would actually apply to a very small number, as you have said, about 15. I come from Newton-North Delta, which is a very diverse community. When I look at the diversity of this amazing country and our population, I worry about this baby step being too tiny, because if we were to look at increments of 15 over the next number of years, how long is it going to take? When we look at reflecting our diversity in our systems, especially in our military, I don't think we should wait that long. I do have that concern.
In your paper, Professor, you also wrote that core Canadian diversity values should be a fundamental component of the framework of Canadian Forces' leadership values. Further, you suggested that these values and competencies should apply to everyone in the organization, not only to existing majority groups but also to the new, so-called minority groups. In other words, individuals whose values and attitudes are in conflict with those of the organization will be expected to adapt to the organizational context.
Can you explain how the values or value compliance of a potential recruit might currently be measured or assessed?
