Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Mr. MacKay, and thank you for your testimony.
I will ask my questions in French.
In recent months and years, a most pressing question has been about the difficulty that former members of the Canadian Armed Forces experience in making a smooth and effective transition from military life to civilian life. But it now also seems, in the light of the recent cases of suicide among new members of the armed forces, that the transition from civilian life to military life also presents our young recruits with significant challenges.
Can you tell me if any thought has been given to people making the transition from civilian life to military life? If so, can you tell me the precise aspects that you are currently exploring? In your view, what possible solutions could we look at to better prevent cases of suicide among our recruits?
