Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to take an opportunity as well to thank all of the witnesses who are here today and all of the men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces for all that they do for safety and security, not only here but abroad as well. Thank you very much for being here.
We understand that the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces are preparing for a request from the government to distribute vaccines across the country. Is the Canadian Armed Forces preparing for a front-facing role, working alongside public health, to distribute the vaccines directly to Canadians and even perhaps administer them in areas with a shortage of front-line health workers?
