The majority of Canadian Forces members—I am not talking about our civilians, who are members of the public service—are trained by the Canadian Forces.
We have programs that enable us to directly enrol people with certain clinical skills, especially when we are experiencing a shortage. In most cases, the training of our people is financially supported by the Canadian Forces, once they have been enrolled. In addition, it all depends on the profession.
We use civilian institutions as much as possible for their training, so that we can establish the same standards and skills as those the general public has access to. We also provide them with additional training that meets the specific needs of the Canadian Forces.
