Thank you very much.
When I came into this role, as you heard, we took the time to look at the overall responsibilities of the chief of military personnel, and then to draw up an action plan for inclusion and diversity throughout my service.
What could we do better? For example, we launched the women's health care initiative. We're also looking at infrastructure and equipment. As part of the new contract with LogistiCore for new equipment, we are careful to provide better support to women, for example by offering them better boot sizes. Last year, we also launched a refund for waterproof underwear. It's the same thing for the bras: we need equipment that works for us.
The same is true for the transition to civilian life. How do we eliminate the bias in our system so that everyone has a chance to succeed? Now, at every transition meeting, there is a person in charge of diversity and inclusion who is there to promote that perspective, from civilian employees with the military. They listen to make sure that what we're saying makes sense.
Let's also not forget the feminization of ranks, breastfeeding policies and other measures. We've made a lot of changes in the past two years, but there's still a lot more to do. We're not done yet.

The elephant is big, but we'll get there.
