Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I thank all of the witnesses for being here with us this morning.
I'm pleased to be a part of this committee since I have the honour of representing a riding that contains the largest military training base in Canada, in Gagetown.
I've certainly heard on the doorstep, in a community with a rich military tradition, about the concern around the health of the military reserves.
I want to get back to the question of recruitment and retention, because I'm really interested in understanding more what they look like in a community such as the one I represent.
General Joyce, you talked about integration in the plan going on between reservists and regular forces. You talked about mental health, about diversity. You mentioned four phases. I'm interested in hearing a little bit more about that and about whether the financial and human resources exist and how you evaluate the work being done as you implement those four phases of recruitment and retention.
