Madam Chair, I would like to thank the member for his question.
Yes, as we did throughout the first wave of the pandemic, the Canadian Armed Forces has set a domestic-ready force consisting of regular force, reserve force and Canadian Rangers—and, of course, we have some great civilians in support as well—prepared to respond to the needs of not only major urban areas but also rural environments. We saw quite a bit of that during the first wave of the pandemic with deployments to Nunavik and la Basse-Côte-Nord in the province of Quebec for example, with Canadian Rangers surging throughout remote communities in their respective provinces and territories. That will continue, I expect fully, as we continue to operate through this pandemic.
