I would like to begin with a question about recruitment. We know that it's generally very difficult to recruit priests, even in the civilian world. They are aging. We had to resort to immigration in my riding. Oddly enough, the Congo helped us out by sending us priests for a three-year period.
How is recruitment done? Generally, it's difficult to recruit new blood in that profession.
Could you tell us more specifically about the role women play in the Canadian Forces chaplaincy? In some religious faiths, women cannot play the same role as men. What specific role do they play? Are they limited? How are they perceived in those services?
