The reserves in the Canadian Armed Forces, Madam Chair, have featured prominently in our response as part of Operation Laser. In the first wave, when it was unclear how much of the Canadian Armed Forces would be required to be mobilized to support Canadians, reservists were offered full-time service, what we refer to as class C service. Almost 7,000 reservists took that call, and they played a very fundamental role in a number of our operations, including long-term care support, especially in the province of Ontario.
To answer your question, we have certainly seen a number of reservists answering the call to support Canada in its time of need. They've had to undergo the same preparations and training as their regular force counterparts, in terms of using personal protective equipment; observing, respecting and enforcing public health measures; and integrating into operations. Any reservist who integrates into an Operation Laser function or operation will undergo the same preparations as their regular force counterparts.
