Okay, it's already done. Thank you.
Also, I don't mean this as a criticism, but I know the Canadian Forces are doing an excellent job in recruitment in our so-called visible minority communities, through the African communities, for example, in my riding in Preston, in first nations communities, and in new immigrant communities as well. But the previous posters and the current posters don't necessarily reflect that. If you were an African-Nova Scotian child in Preston and you looked at this poster, you'd say, “That's really nice, but I don't see me in this.”
I don't mean that as a criticism, but to offer the diversity of our nation—as you know, it's changing quite rapidly—when you look at our forces, it's an excellent opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds to serve a common purpose.
I think the government does a very good job in recruiting and focusing cultural training. When women started serving in combat roles and going on ships, as we all know, the navy did such a fabulous job in teaching men and women to be able to work together in confined spaces. They can teach us in civilian ways how women should be treated in a respectful manner. They did a great job. They also do that in the cultural communities.
The pamphlets do a great job with aboriginal and African historical concerns, but the posters that go out that everyone sees are fairly Caucasian in view. I just offer that as a suggestion, that in the future a little more diversity might be helpful.
