Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you also, Lieutenant-General Gauthier and Colonel Bernier, for being here with us.
My question is a general one, so it goes to the general, of course.
We are aware that we have a large number of military personnel on missions overseas. The most significant mission is in Afghanistan. Soldiers are deployed there by a rotation system. Some leave and others are recruited. We know that recruiting is not easy and has some constraints. The fact that soldiers are deployed repeatedly or more frequently in the rotation could have health implications.
Is the number of military personnel serving in foreign missions sufficient, most specifically in Afghanistan?
