Does the Minister intend to restrict the campaign to the areas mentioned? It should be a nationwide campaign because I know people who became pillars of society after undergoing training in the Reserve Defence Force. I have in mind vulnerable young people. The Minister will be aware of the individuals I am referring to as we discussed this issue. These young people have gone from strength to strength and are now influential in their own communities where they deal with other young people. If the Minister pursues the course of action proposed by the Chairman, the recruitment campaign should be nationwide.
