The Chair NDP Pat Martin

Ladies and gentlemen, I call the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates to order.

We're very grateful and pleased to have the Minister of National Defence and the Associate Minister of National Defence join us on very short notice to defend the main estimates and the supplementary estimates, as I understand.

Welcome to anyone who is sitting in for this relatively special meeting.

Minister, you have opening remarks. We'll do that first and then we'll open it to questions.

Welcome.
