“Recruitment numbers for the military look good. We need this bill to make sure the Canadian Armed Forces are safe and welcoming for people of all genders who join.”
“Mr. Speaker, we were indeed encouraged this week by the news of the recruitment numbers. Although we heard reports that the numbers leaving are outstripping the numbers coming in, and I do not have the exact numbers at my fingertips, I have been assured that they, in fact, were a bit misleading. That is why it is important for this legislation to be at report stage. Bill C-11 would help us ensure that those people coming in are welcomed into a safe and responsible environment for all genders enrolling in the Canadian Armed Forces.”
