Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question because it gives me an opportunity to talk about our fine Canadian Forces.
The Canadian Forces are a multipurpose, combat capable force. As such they are equipped and receive a broad range of training suitable for a wide spectrum of operations. They may on some occasions receive mission specific training before being deployed. This kind of training has enabled them to assist many communities across the country which have been ravaged by natural disasters over the past couple of years.
