Minister MacKay and Mr. Fantino, thank you for coming in and being with the government operations and estimates committee.

Recently in the news there was some mention of the Canadian Forces planning operational hubs in various parts around the world. First, could you explain to the committee what those are, and what are the strategic and operational objectives of those hubs?

Second, and perhaps just a qualitative answer, what is the impact of those hubs on the budget and on the estimates?
