Thank you, Chair.
Congratulations on your appointment. I think it's been barely more than a month.
My questions have to do with the complexity of the modern Canadian Forces. Not only is Canada a society of diverse cultures; we also are multi-faith, multilingual, of multi-religious backgrounds, multiracial, multi-whatever-it-is. This makes a highly structured organization like the Canadian Forces or any military organization very...I won't say “difficult”, but it's hard to integrate and keep all these components separate with respect to all this multiplicity of diversity within the Canadian Forces.
From your past experience and moving forward, perhaps you can share with us how you tackle this diversity in the Canadian Forces in the modern era.
