Thanks very much, Chair.
Thanks to all our witnesses for being here today.
Chair and colleagues, I'm having some Internet connectivity issues, so please let me know if it gets patchy.
I'd like to start my questions with the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada.
We've just been talking in a different context about the spending in the budget, but one of the areas where there was a great increase in spending, and one that I strongly agree is necessary, is defence. I'm wondering if you could speak to the importance of the new investments in the budget in defence and what impact you think that will have on our national security but also on your industry.
