“People did not trust the military a few years ago, and few wanted to join. We worked to change the military's culture and followed almost all of the recommendations from the independent review. Now, more people are signing up to serve. Our plan is working.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is true that back in 2021, when we launched the inquiry into what had happened within the Canadian Armed Forces, very few people wanted to enlist. There was a lack of trust. Families did not want their children to join the Canadian Armed Forces. I myself have two children and a daughter-in-law who are currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. How could I ask another family to let their children enlist in the CAF knowing that they might become victims? We have made efforts to change the culture within the Canadian Armed Forces. We have implemented 47 of Justice Arbour’s 48 recommendations. Today, we are seeing a significant increase in enrolment. Our plan is working.”
