Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to begin by thanking the analysts, Ms. Goody and Mr. Siekierski, for their briefing notes for today's meeting.
The notes were really exceptional. I think the work you put into them helped me understand. I have been following arms permits for a couple of years now, and your work was really good. I am going to send it to officials to read, because I really do think it's a fine outline of the history.
My first question is this: Is Turkey an ally of Canada?
