Mr. Chair, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for the opportunity to talk to you this evening.
I am retired Major-General Fraser. I spent 32 years in the Canadian Armed Forces and participated in numerous missions, including as commander, regional command south under the U.S.-led coalition Operation Enduring Freedom, and the NATO coalition ISAF in 2006.
Before I go on, can everyone hear me? Am I coming across? I would hate to do this twice.
