Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and through you to our witnesses, thank you very much for being here today. It's been a very interesting discussion so far, and very helpful.
With your patience, understanding, and tolerance, I'd like to explore a little further some of the definitions and concepts that you've been talking about. I hope this doesn't sound repetitive to you, but it seems to me that in some sense the way we're using some of these terms around this table and the way you use some of these terms are a bit different.
One of the critical terms is interoperability. What I thought I heard you say, and I'd appreciate your clarification on this, is that interoperability isn't about everybody using the same equipment, but that interoperability has to be understood through the lens of specialization by design. In other words, it's not part of smart defence and the concept of specialization by design, that everybody have the same piece of equipment. Interoperability doesn't mean that you can put a military person from one country into the equipment of another country, or that everybody's driving the same vehicles or flying the same planes. Is that correct?
