Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the question.
Certainly I would say that for us, on values and ethics.... There was the recent revitalization of Trusted to Serve, which is the foundation of the ethos and ethics of the Canadian Armed Forces. I believe it was back in 2022. It is the basis of trust. It is the basis of ethical behaviour. It's obviously the basis of the nature of the environment we must be in to do the work we do in our jobs and for ourselves to be Canadians within the communities we have, going forward.
At a foundational level, at bases and wings distributed around the country, members of the Canadian Armed Forces quickly become members of their community as well. It is about working with members of the local community, where we engage in sports programs and coach each other's kids. I think there's a strong connection between members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the communities they're in, and therefore the Canadians they serve, going forward.
It is important to us in the Canadian Armed Forces that we build strong connections with our communities, because we know it's an important home for us as we move from community to community. I would say strongly that we, within the Canadian Armed Forces, think it's important as a basis for us, moving forward.
