Agreed. That's a lot of inter-agency joint training.
I hope CBRN is never needed, but that kind of vigilance is hugely important.
As you know, we've been studying readiness. I'm going to direct this to either minister. As you both know, this committee is currently studying the overall readiness of the CF. I see here in the estimates that there are provisions for land and joint maritime and aerospace readiness.
Can either of you perhaps delve into what some of these provisions entail, first of all. Why is funding for readiness so important to your department? My last question is how has the Government of Canada improved the overall readiness of the CF over the past five years?
