Colleagues, I think we'll bring this meeting to order. We are running a little late and I want to apologize to our witnesses. It seems like Tuesdays are going to be like this. The House leadership has decided to have votes every Tuesday. It's a good thing in some ways and not very helpful in others.
On behalf of the committee, I'd like to welcome General Vance of the Department of National Defence.
General, I think it would be to our benefit if you would introduce your colleagues, and I understand that you'll be making a presentation as well.
We are also welcoming Chief Superintendent Barbara Fleury of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
General Vance, I'll turn the floor over to you for your remarks and we'll get into the questions after.
