Thanks, Minister.
I am very proud of the response by both regular and reserve forces to the floods and, in fact, any time something happens in Canada.
Very critical in the policy is achieving a posture of full-time capability through part-time service. We want to put more into the reserves when they are delivering every day for Canadians. It's not just about being ready to deliver, but being involved in operations. Cyber, as the minister mentioned, is important, and intelligence. We'll have UAVs to fly.
There's also that latent response of young, fit men and women. Their job may be on a radio, but in the dead of night they can get called out to move sandbags around. That is one of the powerful virtues of a military force that is un peu polyvalente. Not only can you use your specific skill that you've been tasked to use, but you can do other things. That is particularly important when it comes to protecting Canadians and coming to their aid.
Finally, there are some very specific things that we put in the reserves that will have a domestic consequence. Heavy and light urban search and rescue, the capacity to respond to major disasters, and major challenges with natural disasters will be embedded.
