Absolutely not.
I command an army and the reservists are an inherent part of that army. They are not the poor relatives. Every time we carry out an operation, we prepare reports after reviewing the activities. That is when we see what was done and what was not done. If there was a shortage of equipment—and I do not doubt it since it was reported and the Auditor General's office does very rigorous work—it is because some people lacked initiative at a certain point. There is no reason why certain battalions—since you are referring to territorial battalions—when deployed and in the field, would not have the necessary equipment at their disposal, like the vehicles and communications systems every one of our 10 brigades has. A brigade is made up of 10 to 15 units. So we are probably looking at a blatant lack of know-how on the part of certain people. It is a situation I have noted, and we aren't proud of it. There is no reason for that to happen.
