Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
To our witnesses, thank you for coming today.
The actions of the DART certainly symbolize the qualities of Canada: strength, decisiveness, and deep commitment to humanitarianism. Quite apart from an individual's ability to deploy on several hours' notice, sometimes both the husband and the wife are members of the forces, and some members are single parents, so they have to have all their plans in place to leave on such short notice. They're also trained for top readiness.
Would you please tell the committee what sort of training goes in to enable them to be ready to deploy and provide this type of humanitarian and medical assistance on such short notice?
