Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
In the section of your report, “2013 in Retrospect”, you said:
...the defence budget was affected to such an extent that one is left wondering what, if anything, will come out of the announced [Canada First defence strategy] review other than nice words and more cuts.
You go on to say that one would have thought that this fiscal restraint would have provided an opportunity for reflection on the size, capability, and capital program of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Why do you think this wasn't done? What do you believe the impact of this review will be?
