To answer that question, I can work in part of Calvin Pedersen's text.
His answer is that he is a ranger. He has been a ranger for almost 25 years. He is a fourth-generation Canadian ranger, and he's very proud of his service.
The rangers do a lot of very important things. Just this summer, Calvin was at Operation Nanook/Nunakput, which meant that he and his patrol were keeping their eyes on the Northwest Passage to monitor vessel traffic. This is important from a broad Canadian security perspective, but also for the safety and security of his own community, so I think there is a real desire for more of those kinds of operational experiences.
The constant emphasis on having more and more rangers is not really what a lot of rangers are after. Calvin, here in his statement, is saying to give them more operational experience, give them more training and make use of them more, because they are the eyes and ears. The more they are used out in the land, the better it is going to be for Canada's broader security and safety concerns. To support this, the 1st Canadian Ranger Patrol Group needs the support staff and headquarters staff required to make this kind of operational expansion possible.
That's one thing on which I very much agree with Calvin. The rangers could possibly be used for more operational activities out on the land, monitoring the Northwest Passage and these kinds of things, but to support that operational tempo, it is important to make sure that the headquarters of the 1st Canadian Ranger Patrol Group has the support they require.
