Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to make your statements in two official languages. It's very nice to hear the witnesses speak my native language.
My first question will be for Brigadier-General Jeannot Boucher.
In your comments, you referred to a three-year cycle. That seems a bit short to me, especially when you take into account the construction time and the life cycle of the infrastructure. However, I know that the time you had to make your remarks was very short and that you did not have time to develop your idea.
For the next couple of minutes, could you tell us more about what this cycle entails and the medium‑ to long-term vision for defence planning?
