Thank you.
Indeed, I would like to thank you for the robust military support and, as I mentioned, for the approach that we are building together—the capabilities.
If we're talking about the fighter jet capability, Canada is helping us train Ukrainian pilots. It's not only that the other partners are providing us F-16 fighter jets, but we also need to have well-trained pilots who can effectively operate them.
When it comes to the armoured vehicles coalition, it's not only the armoured vehicles, but there's this whole supply chain. There are many other examples.
One other thing I want to mention, and want to thank you for in the presence of generals here, is the training program Unifier. It started back in 2015. When the war started, we had over 30,000 Ukrainian men and women trained by Canadian trainers through the Unifier program. Now, the figures are much bigger. We are coming close to the 40,000.
I think the generals can probably also say that it's not only one-sided training. It's really the exchange of experience. It's really a win-win for both our armed forces and the members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
I always have the privilege of meeting the teams that are coming on a rotation for the six months from Unifier. I'm always really touched by how they feel proud of being a part of the Unifier program, how this exchange...and how the people stay connected. We are also building these relations among the people who are physically protecting us—our soldiers.
