Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome. Thank you for being with us.
In Afghanistan, I met with soldiers who told me about their deployment. For some of them, the duration of that rotation was six months, seven months and even nine months. In Valcartier, I met with spouses who told me that the decompression week should be included in these six months. They have a 15-day break between the first month and the fifth month. Often, when the soldier comes back home for this 15-day break, he seems to be elsewhere and keeps watching the news.
Do you believe that we should shorten the rotation in Afghanistan? Would it be better not to change anything? I would like to hear you on this issue.
