One of the things you said earlier in your speech, Ms. Scoppio, is that diversity should equal value added. I represent 19 Wing Comox in my riding, and I've had numerous conversations with people on base around how we promote this and what we do to become more diversity-oriented. I think it's something that's growing in the community, and I want to recognize that.
First, to both of you, in what ways does diversity really enhance military operational effectiveness? I think we need to see it as an asset, and I want you to talk about that.
The other thing is that I have looked through the material I have, and there's very little statistical information about the LGBTQ2 community. I'm wondering if that is something we need to do better.
