Canada-China Relations committee  There were none that I am aware of.

Canada-China Relations committee  No, sir, there was not.

Canada-China Relations committee  The Canadian Armed Forces is executing the policy “Strong, Secure, Engaged”. Our presence in the Indo-Pacific is a persistent presence. We are very active members on operations like Operation Neon, which is the sanctions enforcement. We are aggressively pursuing a range of activi

Canada-China Relations committee  As was shown in the inadvertent release of the email, there was some concern about breaking existing agreements, and there was concern about commitments that had been publicly made. Five Eyes chiefs of defence had decided that this kind of winter warfare training—and it was winte

National Defence committee  Madam Chair, to follow on General Eyre's comments, I think what we need to do, as General Eyre said, is to start with some listening and not ordering. You can't order trust to be built and you can't order culture change. It doesn't come from NDHQ. It has to be built out in the ba

National Defence committee  I'm not sure if there is a way to reward people, but I think there is a way of educating people and building allyship.

Public Accounts committee  Yes, we do have retention and recruitment strategies, but we have a particular problem with fighter jets, so we have to do more, and more is being looked at by the chief of military personnel and the commander of the air force.

Public Accounts committee  We do, and certainly we have a renewed emphasis on growing the Canadian Armed Forces as a result of “Strong, Secure, Engaged”. Up until recently, the armed forces have been downsizing. We're now having to reverse that trend and grow the Canadian Armed Forces at a time when unemp

Public Accounts committee  When the audit was ongoing we hadn't completed that analysis. The Auditor General reports on what we've done and what we haven't done. We're never not analyzing the improvement to fleets. They're constantly going through refits, through weapons changes, sensor changes, defensiv

Public Accounts committee  Thank you very much for the question. The risks are that we will not be able to meet our commitments and defend our sovereignty through the Royal Canadian Air Force.
