Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Ms. O'Neill and Brigadier General Bourgon, thank you for joining us today. We are very happy to have you.
My question is for both of you, but Ms. Bourgon will probably be in a better position to answer it.
In Canada's action plan for women, peace and security, the government is committing to recruit more women into the Armed Forces. In February 2020, the proportion of women in the Canadian Armed Forces was 15.9%, and the objective is 25% for 2026.
The pandemic has affected a number of sectors in Canada and in Quebec. Has the pandemic made any difference in that percentage? Has recruitment continued? Will momentum be lost in terms of achieving the 25% objective by 2026 because of the pandemic?
