Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank both Admiral Norman and Chief Petty Officer Riefesel for being with us today. The work you're doing in the navy is incredibly important. The Royal Canadian Navy is continuing to modernize and to do great work in multiple operations around the world. You just mentioned the work we're doing as part of the NATO Reassurance package and the NATO maritime task force.
I know we were just participating in some Black Sea operations as well. Can you touch on that briefly? What interoperability lessons were learned working with some new partners and probably some old allies that we haven't been in exercises with for some time?
