I have spent some time as well on HMCS Montreal and HMCS Halifax, and I was quite impressed. I was impressed by the bilingualism on the ships, although on those two particular ships orders were given in English, but there was plenty of conversation in both languages.
On the way back from certifying the weapons in the Atlantic, the ship was commanded on the bridge by a female officer. There was such a degree of professionalism in every rank. I have to say also that in all three messes I was spoken to very frankly about how they felt about things. However, the officers' mess was much more diplomatic, and we'll save that kind of language for later.
I noticed that there was a good sharing program, and I want to know whether that is going to be able to tide you over in the gaps. There is a sharing program for medics and doctors. In fact, on those two ships, the medics who were being supplied for that manoeuvre were from the army. Is that one of the ways you're trying to fill the gaps? Is that going to be enough?
