Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague from Marc-Aurèle-Fortin for his excellent work on the Standing Committee on National Defence. It is a pleasure to work with him.
We do indeed care about the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces, which is why we passed new legislation to safeguard their jobs and training leave.
This year I had the opportunity to go to New Brunswick to support reservists and acknowledge the work of the Canadian Forces Liaison Council. The council helps businesses and reservists work together and helps our reservists continue to serve their country in the Canadian Armed Forces all while retaining their job security. It is an excellent program. The council is doing good work to support reservists and members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
