Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for coming today.
I was surprised to hear your presentation on what I guess I would call the junior ranks of reservists. I didn't understand that it was an issue or a problem. What you described in your presentation, for the most part, were regular forces people who were retiring or leaving the service for one reason or another who were then joining the reservists because they wanted to. They were then able to become class B reservists and serve in Afghanistan or wherever. I wouldn't see that as a particular problem for this committee or for the public, assuming that there was fairness in hiring--you weren't just hiring people who happened to be your buddies in the service--and that this wasn't being done to usurp the job opportunities for a corporal who is ready to be promoted to a sergeant but is not going to be promoted, because we have this reservist ready to come in.
How do you prevent the second thing from happening?
