Thank you for your question.
We must ensure that we have the right number of people, the right equipment and the right support. That's why we launched, and are in the process of launching, several initiatives to attract and retain more people in the Canadian Armed Forces, or CAF.
That includes the CAF reconstitution plan, launched by the chief of the defence staff, and a workforce retention strategy that we'll be launching soon.
I will ask the vice-chief of the defence staff to speak specifically to the budgetary aspects.
