Of course, as you indicate, globally we are all learning as we go through this pandemic together how it's going to evolve and what the potential implications for our allies and partnerships might be.
What I will say is that with strength, once again, after initially contracting the force in order to privilege support to Canadians, which remains in place, we have been able to resume almost all of our operations in support of our allies, including NATO and the United Nations forces deployed abroad. We have approximately 2,000 Canadian Armed Forces members deployed on approximately 20 missions around the globe.
We will continue to watch for the activities and operations that are going to be contemplated in relation to the pandemic specifically. If there's an opportunity for the Canadian Armed Forces to be engaged, our chief of the defence staff will provide advice to our minister.
