Committee members, we are going to move along with our second hour of hearings.
We have only 45 minutes for your time here, witnesses. We appreciate your attendance today.
We have Cynthia Binnington, Vice-Admiral Denis Rouleau, William Pentney, and Kevin Lindsey. We appreciate your attendance. We thank you for your testimony.
We are moving forward on our study of the freeze on departmental budgets and envelopes with regard to government operations. Today we have witnesses from the Department of National Defence.
I know that you have a submission to start out with, then we will undertake some questions and answers for 45 minutes, and then we have some other business that needs to be taken care of.
We're going to move along to see whether we can cover as much as possible.
