Madam Chair, I'm going to hand it back to Admiral Patterson because she is such an inspirational leader in the Canadian Armed Forces for our country, and internationally as well, I will be frank to say. Women have featured prominently in all aspects of our Operation Laser deployment, but they are also standing tall and proud for our country in operations around the world right now.
One powerful example is Major-General Jennie Carignan, who is currently the commander of the NATO mission in Iraq. Her one-year tenure is just about to be up. She has led Canadian Armed Forces troops under very difficult and challenging circumstances, and so we look forward to welcoming her back to Canada shortly.
I'll hand it over now to Rebecca for additional comments.
