Mr. Chair, I would refer the member to paragraph 2.52, showing that National Defence did in fact conduct surveys. There are a number of reasons mentioned there. Interestingly enough, salary does not appear to be one of the main issues.
So it would seem that the problem is more complex, when they talk about things like “uncertainty about the future of the Canadian Forces”, “leadership and bureaucracy”, and “lack of fairness”. That's why we're recommending that they need to do much more in-depth probing to be able to actually understand what the issues are.
