Thank you, Mr. McKay.
Much of that response is found in the words and the letter from the head of the army, Peter Devlin. We have a very strong commitment from the head of the army. I might add that the army now operates with $500 million more in its budget since we took office.
So your characterization of having to do more with less is incorrect. There is more money in their base budget, therefore more money for training, including the training done by reserves. They will have the same number of training days made available to them annually, Mr. McKay. I can assure you of that.
There is an increase, as you know, in the overall number of reservists and regular force members now serving in the Canadian armed forces, and in the army in particular, in the infantry, to go a little deeper.
