Thank you. I appreciate that.
I have a question here. I don't know if any of you can answer it for me, but I'm going to put it forward.
In regard to the external review that took place for those who chose not to take the COVID vaccine, the chief of the defence staff has that information available to him; however, he doesn't have to follow up on the recommendations.
I have a note from spokesperson Jessica Lamirande that says, “The CAF forms its decisions on vaccination by considering the most up-to-date medical evidence and advice, the current federal posture and the need to be operationally ready in terms of both force health and ability to act in an environment where any vaccine-preventable illness is a hazard to individuals and the mission.”
Can you define for me what that means, the “current federal posture”? What is that? Does anyone know?
