Mr. Chair, we found that in effect the Canadian Forces were able to show some improvement. There was difficulty trying to get their trained effective strength up and to meet recruiting targets. You can compare the figures from our previous chapter in 2002 on recruiting targets with their targets now. We found they were doing a bit of a better job in being able to meet their targets. One of the big issues we had in 2002 was that they were not getting close to their targets; now they are at least getting close to the targets they needed to bring in.
