Mr. Chair, we have many reservists.
Over the past 12 months, I have changed the conditions and the description of the population served by MFRCs. My goal was to make reservists' families feel that they are part of the program. A number of reservists' families said that they felt excluded. But that is not the case. The program is intended for all members and their families faced with daily challenges related to military service. They have access to our services for any relevant needs. It's as simple as that.
When it comes to reservists, we are facing a double failure or a double challenge. As you have noted, madam, reservist units don't always have a military family resource centre nearby. That's why we have an outreach program. Many MFRCs send people out to tour a region or a province in order to get in touch with those units and provide special programs to the members and their families. I cannot say that is the case in all the units, but those are the services and advice we provide.
