Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses.
First of all, Professor Byers, it's nice to see you again after so many intervening years. Thank you for coming to the committee.
You talked about the necessity of the current minister, Mr. Garneau, ensuring that there's a robust assessment of risk by Global Affairs Canada. One of the constant mantras of the previous minister—and even being told by officials within Global Affairs—is that we have one of the most robust arms-control systems in the world. Is there any credibility to that assessment, sir?
