Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here. We're always happy to have you.
I'd like to begin by discussing the issue of recruitment and retention that the committee has addressed. It's essential that the armed forces improve this situation. That's why I'd like for you to tell us about the initiatives set out in the budget to reverse this trend.
For instance, can you tell us that x amount under such and such initiative will be used for recruitment and retention?
