Mr. Chair, I thank the member for her question.
Ms. Vignola, this is what we do during the three-year cycle.
Firstly, we look at the operating environment, which has evolved much more rapidly than we expected.
Second, we can determine what the implications are for allies and for Canada. This is where we are able to identify gaps in our capabilities, whether it's equipment, structure or infrastructure.
Thirdly, we develop scenarios and do modelling, to identify priorities in relation to our capabilities. Then we can develop a program from the projects we have discussed.
Our planning horizon is five to twenty years. We are looking at what capabilities we need to start developing now, in order to achieve our goals within a few years.
We repeat this cycle every three years, to keep us up to date and make any adjustments required.
