The other observation I would make, of course, is the issue of urbanization. A large portion of the population of visible minorities live in major urban centres. There are a number of factors that influence whether they are interested in joining the regular force, and this is particularly one of the areas where the experiences, the policies and the success of the reserve force are leading the regular force. The number is much higher in the reserve forces, and the regular force is learning from them.
