National Defence committee  Absolutely we can get you that list.

National Defence committee  This is a really difficult post in Rome, so thanks for that. I have a couple of things. In the last year, we've undergone an academic curriculum review that looked at what kind of education the NATO Defense College provides based on the future security environment. We did that b

National Defence committee  Only because I used to be CMP and the Canadian Forces College reported to me, I'm a little bit unsure....

National Defence committee  Right. If I can just say, the Canadian Forces College changed its curriculum to include the generals' courses, the colonels' courses for those who would be promoted into generals, what we call DP4, “developmental period four”. That includes the national security course for very s

National Defence committee  I don't believe so, no, it doesn't.

National Defence committee  Just so we're aware of the way that the NATO Defence College is populated, the number of seats given is based on the military contribution of the nations. Canada has six seats per year, so three on each of the senior courses. This is the long six-month course. Canada has been av

National Defence committee  I have that as well. Over the last five years, about one-third of them were women from Canada.

National Defence committee  To be frank, it's a lot higher. In the last two courses, we're running at about 6% to 11% of women on the course, but generally, Canada is one of the few nations that is providing women.

National Defence committee  Thanks very much for that question. I'm going to tackle it in a couple of ways. First of all, we provide more than just the senior course. Since the early 2000s, the college has also been open to our partner nations, of which there are more than 40. Whether they're from the Medi

National Defence committee  Do I have time to add a few things?

National Defence committee  Thanks very much. First of all, I think we need to thank Ambassador Buck for her leadership on this because there's not a day that goes by when I don't talk to her and hear about the great things she's doing on behalf of Canada and NATO. That extends to the dialogue that we're

National Defence committee  Thank you very much. I am Lieutenant-General Whitecross, and I have been commandant of the NATO Defense College since November 29, 2016. I am responsible for accomplishing the missions set out by the NATO Military Committee, which I will outline in more detail momentarily. T

National Defence committee  It's hard, I'll give you that. That's my area, one of my responsibilities. The answer is, no. It's being done because that's the decision that we've made as a senior leadership, and I think it speaks in spades about our ability to treat people the same. And it's not only men and

National Defence committee  We'd be happy to give you an opportunity to try the test.

National Defence committee  Thank you.
