Thank you, Mr. Chair, and congratulations on your nomination.
Thank you to our witnesses.
I would also have about a million questions. I've read quite a bit on the future of G-Zero in international politics. My question is more about our ground defence and our sovereignty concerning reserves.
If we step back to before deployment in Afghanistan, we were already in a poor position of equipment and deployment. I've looked a lot at what goes on in the States with the governors and the relationships that they have on deployment, which is state forces, but also what replaces them and all the laws that exist.
How do you perceive the transformation of our reserves here? What direction could it take to be more efficient in procurement, equipment, deployment, and training, and what kind of impact would it have? On an international scale, before you answer all those questions, what is the perception in our relationship, on our disorganization? I'm sure we're not the only ones noticing that we don't have a white book on decisions, so that is projection?
