Reconstitution is still our priority in the Canadian Armed Forces. It's the top priority, along with culture. We need to refill the ranks. We're still missing the troops. Since the last time we talked, there's been no change in terms of the number of recruits we have.
The ones who are implicated in the fight to train Ukrainians are, I'll say, very motivated. It is great work that we're doing in all the countries. We're involved in training—I mentioned the 4,600 Ukrainian troops we've trained. One thing our soldiers noticed over there—and you saw it on the trip—is that we have very young soldiers contributing over there in training. They appreciate training soldiers who are focused because they know those soldiers are leaving for the battle. It's very motivating, and we hope that we will be able to continue to do the same, because it's a great recruiting tool for us. It's the same with the brigade that we look forward to mounting in Latvia.
These are good-news stories for us, but recruiting Canadian soldiers to the CAF continues to be a challenge that we're focused on.
