Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you very much, Minister, for your testimony, and thank you again for your leadership of the ministry and the very contained supplementary estimates (B). It is quite impressive to have the supplementary estimates so good this year.
I have seen the reservists, and as you know, they are an integral part of the Canadian Armed Forces. I served in the reserves in the air force and I know how important the reservists are for us. They are important for their units and their local communities.
Being able to balance work-life and that of the military can be very difficult. There is funding in these estimates for compensation for employers of reservists. How will this assist reservists in the difficult task they have of balancing their work and military life?
