Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to our witnesses.
General Whitecross, thank you very much for your service—what a long and storied career. It's nice to see you again here on this committee.
Madam Gallant talked a bit about the recruitment process. She called it a “choke point”. I was going to call it a “bottleneck”. You touched on it, and thank you for that.
Think about our allies. Can you provide any information on who's doing really well with those parts of the process that are slowing people down and that might make them take a different career path because the process is too long?
