Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Following on the issue of training and what we should be training for, the committee had the opportunity to travel to CMTC and to CFB Vegreville to see and actually participate to some extent in some training manoeuvres there. One of the things they were training for...they were doing some counter-insurgency work. They were also training for a near-peer combat and more conventional warfare.
I have a two-part question. To determine readiness, we are also trying to determine what the threats are that Canada may face. So using history as a guide or experience, what do you see as the threats facing Canada and our interests in the next five or ten years? In terms of the training, do we need to try to be predictive in determining what sort of training we need, or do we need to train people to make good decisions no matter what they're faced with? Do we need to focus on specific scenarios or on specific types of training that will allow Canadian Forces personnel to be flexible to face whatever comes their way?
