Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We talked about power projection and the white paper.
There is an increasing vacuum internationally. Commitments are being broken, budgets reduced and there is a dearth of international leadership, which seems to be increasingly felt. That is what you said.
Is this not an opportunity for us to defend our country right now? Canada could increase its contribution.
For us to be more present and to contribute on a strategic level internationally as a leader, and at the same time
would that not influence our white paper? We could reposition ourselves, make up for the delay that we are facing and should not have had to face, and move forward, thereby having an impact on the way we are seen internationally.
