Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses for being here today.
I'm going to start by saying something I know I've said before. I think the Canadian military is ahead of a lot of other sectors in our society in tackling some of the difficult questions, whether it's sexual misconduct or suicide, so I want to give credit to the Canadian Forces for doing that.
That said, then you get held to a higher standard. When others don't address these problems, they can throw up their hands and say they don't really know the nature of the problems. Now I'm about to hold you to the higher standard you established for yourself.
I want to go back to the question of health professionals. It seems, over the last couple of years, that the record on filling the vacancies has improved. If so, if that's true, can you tell me why that's so?
