Thanks.
Mr. Rasiulis, you talked about the strength of Canada's contribution. You praised the effort to date and characterized it as applying the maximum capability possible. However, the recent American leaks indicated that our allies, including the United States, are skeptical or concerned about Canada's ability to maintain NATO battle groups while aiding Ukraine.
How sustainable is the present deployment? How have failures to increase personnel numbers jeopardized our ability to maintain even the current commitments we have made or enable Canada to up its contribution to ensure that Ukraine ultimately prevails?
