We are very sensitive at once to the needs of Canadians, and our chief of the defence staff has directed, of course, through Operation Laser, that we remain poised and prepared to respond to the evolving needs of our country. He has also been unambiguous that we need to continue to be ready for any potential external threats to Canada and Canadians. Because of that, what we've seen across this country in recent months is reinvigoration of some of our individual and collective training in training areas across Canada to include live-fire manoeuvre training. While we continue to support Canadians throughout this pandemic, it is absolutely essential that, with the residual capacity that we have, we maintain our force generation, our training activities for operations abroad, so that no potential adversaries can take advantage.
Again, we have surged back out to continue to operate in over 20 missions globally alongside our allies, safely respecting the COVID environment, and also to deliver the mission that our government has sent us out to do.
