Thank you, Mr. Chair.
General, after Mr. Chisu, I'm afraid you're going to have to spend the next five minutes talking to an electrical engineer, as well.
I want to congratulate you on your appointment, as well as your attendance at the 60th anniversary celebration of the Royal Military College in Saint-Jean, a few weeks ago.
I had the opportunity to attend the event. Whenever I talk to former or current RMC students, they always tell me that French is in a constant state of decline among the student body.
They also talk about the recruitment of French speakers. RMC Saint-Jean is having more and more trouble finding students to fill francophone spots. I don't think that is due to an unwillingness to accept francophone students, but rather a lack of them.
You were head of the Royal Military College in Kingston. Over the years, have you observed a lack of interest in a military career among francophone students? As you carry out your new duties, what efforts will you make to reverse that trend?
