"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2697855\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697856\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you very much, General, and thank you very much, Colonel, for your great presentations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697857\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I know a little bit about the Conference of Defence Associations, as I have been following it in the last years. I am former military, with service in peacekeeping operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and also in Afghanistan, in 2007, and I understand very well your concerns and your promotion of the new equipment and so on. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697858\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Canada First defence strategy was released in 2008 as a comprehensive plan for the Canadian Forces. How does a document like the Canada First defence strategy advance Canada's global interest?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697859\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will focus more on the training of the personnel. It is very important. We can have all the equipment in the world, but if you don't have the properly trained personnel, we have a problem. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697860\" data-originallang=\"en\">You probably recall our history in the Second World War. We sent pilots to England to fight for England in the war against Germany. We provided the human resources. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697861\" data-originallang=\"en\">We could have the best equipment in the world, but if we don't have the personnel who are able to manage that, we have a problem. Could you explain how you see the training of personnel in this context of fast-evolving technological warfare?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2697855\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci beaucoup, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697856\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 remercier vivement le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et le colonel de leurs superbes expos\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697857\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je m'int\u00e9resse aux activit\u00e9s de la Conf\u00e9rence des associations de la d\u00e9fense depuis quelques ann\u00e9es. Ancien militaire, j'ai particip\u00e9 aux op\u00e9rations de maintien de la paix en Bosnie-Herz\u00e9govine ainsi qu'en Afghanistan, en 2007. Je comprends parfaitement vos inqui\u00e9tudes, vos arguments en faveur de l'achat de nouveaux \u00e9quipements, etc.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697858\" data-originallang=\"en\">La strat\u00e9gie Le Canada d'abord a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9e en 2008, et d\u00e9crit pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment le r\u00f4le et les missions des forces canadiennes. De quelle fa\u00e7on un document comme celui-ci permet-il de d\u00e9fendre les int\u00e9r\u00eats du Canada sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697859\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais parler plus particuli\u00e8rement de l'entra\u00eenement du personnel. C'est tr\u00e8s important. Nous aurons beau avoir tous les \u00e9quipements imaginables, si nos troupes ne sont pas bien entra\u00een\u00e9es, nous aurons un probl\u00e8me. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697860\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous vous souvenez sans doute de ce qui est arriv\u00e9 pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, quand nous avons envoy\u00e9 des troupes \u00e0 l'Angleterre pour combattre l'Allemagne. Nous avons fourni des ressources humaines.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2697861\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous aurons beau acheter les meilleurs \u00e9quipements au monde, si nous n'avons pas le personnel capable de les utiliser, nous aurons un probl\u00e8me. \u00c0 votre avis, comment peut-on assurer l'entra\u00eenement du personnel dans un contexte o\u00f9 la technologie des armements \u00e9volue tr\u00e8s rapidement?</p>"
