Again, a conversation about the reserve's future, what that looks like and the role they might play in disaster response is a worthwhile conversation to have.
I would again argue, though, that the recruitment base for a civilian response agency would be broader than for the army reserves. I am not an expert on the military reserves. I work with the Canadian Rangers a lot and I know they are great resources for their communities, but I am not sure that the CAF wants to have ranger patrols in every single community in the country.
There are definitely questions about how far to push this model, and there are questions about the reserves and what they can do in this role. It's a conversation worth having. That's all I can say about it.
