Madam Chair, I would like to thank the member for his question.
I will get started with the response to this question and will also turn it over to Admiral Patterson to see if she wants to expand on this.
What I would say categorically is that throughout Operation Laser, our women leaders and members of the Canadian Armed Forces have featured prominently in absolutely every aspect of the Canadian Armed Forces' response, whether it's deployment into long-term care facilities, or the advice that's being provided to other government departments. The Canadian Rangers, comprising both women and men, surged into our communities to help vulnerable Canadians in their times of need.
I cannot think of a force element that has been employed as part of Operation Laser in which women have not featured prominently.
I'll just turn it over to Admiral Patterson to see if she'd like to expand on this as well.
