Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for being here this afternoon. I would like to ask you some questions about your personnel, and more specifically, about recruitment.
We know that the Canadian Forces have recruited 20,000 members over the past four years, bringing numbers up by 700. You yourself recognized that recruitment had been a challenge.
I had the opportunity to visit the Petawawa military base, where doctors told me that they were under a lot of pressure and had to work a lot of overtime. They even said that there was a shortage of staff.
Can you tell me whether all of your medical units have a full complement of staff? If not, why?
