Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the minister and all of the departmental officials who are attending committee today.
I too want to add my condolences on behalf of all Conservative members of this committee to Corporal James Choi's family, his friends, and of course the entire Canadian Armed Forces family for this tragic loss.
Minister, I'm glad you talked about Operation Laser and the response of the Canadian Armed Forces to COVID-19.
My question is whether you're getting prepared to deploy again, especially as a second wave continues to pick up steam, and whether you're having any requests from provinces looking at requiring the support of the Canadian Armed Forces during this pandemic.
