Thank you, Chair, and thank you to our guests for your interventions and for joining us tonight.
As we said in the short preamble to this meeting, we're here to find facts and get some information. I do have a list of questions, but one has recently popped into my mind, so I'd like to start off with a question for Lieutenant-General Lise Bourgon.
I was recently given some information that we have some pilots who used to be wing standard in the military, and they would like to re-enrol. They're not being able to re-enrol right now.
The CDS used to be able to waive the fact that they didn't have a university degree. The CDS used to be able to waive that. Now it's the ministry of national defence. That's taking four to six months, so we have a backlog of pilots needing to be trained.
Have you heard of that? If so, why is it taking four to six months? Why has the ministry of national defence stepped in when it's a requirement that it should be the CDS?
