Mr. Chair, I have a point of order. Can we do the test for the interpreters before my five minutes? I see the witnesses have not put on the earphones.
Do you both understand French?
Are you okay? We're good to go? Thank you.
You made a few observations in your report and please correct me if I miss something.
The report says that state actors are not a direct threat to North America, but that the risk of other armed non-state actors acquiring high-technology weapons, such as cruise missiles, is increasing.
Could you elaborate on that? For instance, are the threats from Iran and Korea growing? That is not what I am reading, but do you have any information on that?
Also, is the situation so serious that we must consider it when we are wondering whether or not we should think about participating in a North American ballistic missile defence system?
We can start with Ms. Charron. Mr. Fergusson can answer next.
