Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all three of you for appearing today in front of our committee. I want to thank all three of you for your service to Canada.
Colonel Quick, I recall when you were commander of JPSU and your service there in working with our ill and injured. Thank you.
Ms. Pope, when Madam Gallant was speaking about how New Zealand was working with the Maori and the initiation process they had, bringing them into the warrior culture, you were nodding in agreement quite a bit. Would you suggest that those types of rites of passage would help with recruitment and retention of indigenous members in the Canadian Armed Forces?
