Thank you very much, Minister.
On the topic of the Conservatives voting against these supplementary estimates, that means the Conservatives are going to vote against support for NATO. They're going to vote, again, against supporting Ukraine, and they're going to be voting against, as I also see in the supplementary estimates, better wages for Canadian Armed Forces members.
We expect an awful lot from our CAF members. They're doing incredible and important work here at home and abroad. This committee agrees that they deserve to be well paid for the work they do. I can tell you that from what I've been hearing, it hasn't been enough. Wages haven't necessarily been keeping up.
That said, I'm glad to see wage increases for CAF members in the estimates. Maybe you can tell us a little bit about these increases—how they will be implemented, when they will be implemented and specifically how they will benefit some of the lower-paid ranks.
