We know that the Canadian Armed Forces have a recruitment problem. They're in the process of making changes. There's a whole program to make the recruitment process faster and more flexible, but it's going to take time. It has only just been put in place.
There's a general recruitment program. The Canadian Armed Forces haven't been meeting their recruitment targets, not just this year but for years. That's a problem. That will affect every program. If the armed forces don't recruit enough people in general, then they won't recruit enough women, indigenous people, permanent residents and so on. The forces are failing to meet the targets in general, which includes programs for indigenous people.
