Thank you. Through you, Mr. Chair, welcome to the witnesses.
General Eyre, I'm paraphrasing, but I believe you testified that we're making sure we have enough pilots, training and personnel. The Canadian Forces are about 10,000 people short; the navy is 1,000 short; infantry battalions are down to 300 people. We have under 50 fighter pilots, and 50% of our occupations are severely stressed.
Exactly what mitigation and recruitment initiatives have you undertaken to bring our military to full strength and being operationally ready, especially given that we're on the verge of a European war?
