Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt that in a number of sectors, it has always been a challenge to ensure adequate representation of francophones, and that is the case in the armed forces. The historian in question mentioned a situation which, as the hon. member pointed out, is common knowledge.
We are trying to remedy the situation, and I can inform the hon. member that it has certainly improved. If we look at all the reports made over a certain period of time, there has been an improvement but, as in many other sectors, much remains to be done, and we will try to do it to the best of our ability.
