Sure.
Obviously the CAF has demonstrated its ability to meet many concurrent operational requirements, but that's come at a cost, as I think you've heard from a number of folks who have presented here.
One thing I just want to flag is that the government and Public Safety did create a humanitarian workforce program. They announced $100 million early in 2020, and that's been added to since. You heard from Conrad Sauvé, I believe, of the Red Cross. The Red Cross, St. John Ambulance and others are part of that humanitarian workforce, which has created a strategic support for surge federally to take the burden off the CAF. That was developed in the midst of COVID.
I'll just close by saying that over the past two and a half years we've obviously had an impressive level of federal response in Canada for COVID and other crises. The CAF, obviously, has been at the centre of that. They have been outstandingly supportive and great partners in response to these large-scale events. Our federal capacity to respond, as you're all well aware, is finite. The provinces also have finite and very asymmetrical capacities, in many cases.
I'll stop there, Mr. Chair. I'm happy to take questions.
