Thank you all for coming this afternoon.
Once again, groups have made a number of requests, and we will have to choose which ones we recommend to the government.
Mr. MadDonald, of the Conference of Defence Associations, has suggested we invest sizable amounts to upgrade our military equipment. I would like him to explain where the committee will find the money, given that Mr. Kyle has also asked us to invest in the Canadian Cancer Society. Prospectors are also asking for their share, as are the people responsible for student financial assistance, the universities, etc.
Who of your colleagues here today should do their part to allow for increased military investment?
