Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today. It's been very informative for us in terms of what lies ahead.
Thank you, Minister.
As you are no doubt aware, a few weeks ago, we had the good fortune of visiting CFB Petawawa and talking to soldiers there. The government announced significant investments to support members of the armed forces, including pay increases, housing improvements and equipment purchases. Minister, I know you've been to almost every military base in the country, so I'd like to hear the response you're getting from soldiers when you talk to them. The ones I met were very happy, but I'd like to know how soldiers see these investments overall.
