Thank you for the question. It is something that we have looked at extensively. I think the two specific challenges that we have observed in the past have been that we were unable to generate enough applicants into the reserve and that the file processing times in the past have discouraged folks. It took too long, and students would give up and find another part-time job.
Those have both been tackled at all levels. The Canadian Armed Forces recruiting group has worked very hard to decrease the processing times for files. I think we are definitely seeing the benefit of that, even this year.
The second thing speaks to visibility. The ability to generate enough files comes with being out in the community with very active recruiters and great messaging. It's participating at events and doing a lot of outreach. Within our own lanes, the naval reserve has boosted the recruiters' activities and their mandates to be out making sure that more young Canadians are aware of the opportunities in the reserve. It makes it easier for them then to think about applying.
At the end of the day, the biggest draw of all is having great jobs. It is a part-time job that offers not only extraordinary, challenging, rewarding employment, but great benefits as well. It will help students to pay for university, and it then continues to allow them to participate and develop professionally. It's a really great offering right now. I think we're improving that even more through our current reorientation.
To finally answer your question, it's all about getting the message out, and I think we're all working hard on that within the naval reserve recruiting group.
