Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Hampson, in February 2022, you came and testified at the Standing Committee on National Defence. You made a comment about the extent to which Canada's military was under-strength and how Canada's armed forces might not be up to the task of confronting what's going on now.
The Indo-Pacific strategy that the government's released has the following phrasing:
Canada is stepping up as a reliable partner in the region to promote security and stability across the region and at home.
Canada will increase our military engagement and intelligence capacity as a means of mitigating coercive behaviour and threats to regional security.
Has your assessment of the status of Canada's military to meet these threats changed since you talked in February 2022?
