It is correct that we noted in the report that the assessments of the various attributes have not been done, and they haven't ensured that the attributes are appropriate or that they are good predictors of people. As well, another issue we raise is that for the increased number of recruits who have to come in, they don't know how many are just meeting the minimum standards. We would think that would be important information for them to have, so that they have a better sense of the quality of the recruits coming into the forces, and that they have better tracking over their career as well, to identify whether these are the right people they're bringing in and whether they need to change their selection criteria.
