I'll just say that I think one of the problems is that for a lot of other mission sets the military has, they're based on mandates, such as, we want to protect North America, and we want to contribute to global security with allies. That gets married with the generation of certain capabilities, such as, we're going to be able to deploy two task groups of four warships simultaneously, or we're going to be able to simultaneously deploy 1,500 soldiers on contingents to work with allies. There's no force generation goal that's associated with assisting domestic emergency response and it creates a function that the military is going to find ways to support that. There's this socialization that's been happening over time, which we've talked about, where the military is increasingly doing more and more things that it's not specifically trained to do, but there's a societal and provincial expectation.
One of the things before we even get into this would be how the requests get filtered through public safety and how they determine where the military can define its role better and where it can and cannot assist. Societally, it'll be unacceptable to Canadians if it's a domestic emergency response and there's no one else and the military comes in if they're placed on a cap. It's kind of getting out of this. I think there's going to have to be a part where the military says that we're going to contribute these things to emergency response, and that frees up space and almost pressure into other orders of government and other parts of the federal service to figure out how to organize those things.
It's a transition, but I think the way things are going it's disincentivizing other areas and levels of the country in preparing for domestic emergency response. That's a very hard challenge, because the military is never going to say that we're only going to contribute 1,000 soldiers a year, and when those are used up, we're not going to do any more emergency response, because societally, we're getting primed to expect that from the forces.
