Thank you.
In Abitibi-Témiscamingue, the Canadian Armed Forces recruitment office closed in 2015. My brother was in charge of it, and I salute him. At one point, there were more than 120 members of the forces in the region. Since then, it has been neglected. Even the headquarters of the 9th Engineer Squadron is now in Montreal.
You don’t mention it, but would it be normal to have regional recruitment centres be closer to the places where recruitment is taking place? In your report, you say that you found that only one in thirteen candidates was recruited. Perhaps the problem lies in the form of communication.
Rather than relying on a website, would it be more effective to have face-to-face exchanges where guarantees are offered and people are treated as individuals?
