Thank you, Mr. Chair
Thank you to all of our witnesses today for your testimony. It's very helpful.
I obviously don't have time for everyone, but hopefully I can be succinct, and our presenters in return, so we can get as many people in as possible.
I want to start with Ms. Cianfarani. It was a very excellent presentation today. I appreciate your views.
I met with the Navy League today, and they emphasized some of the very same points. One was that when you set a long-term program—for example, the national shipbuilding strategy—it builds certainty for businesses to invest in their companies because they know there will be work on a continuous basis. Would you agree with that?
