Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, and to your colleagues for joining us today. I too have a long family history of military service and border service, so I truly appreciate the work you do.
Minister, can you expand on the security processes that ensure that any contractor or outside supplier that works with National Defence does not pose a security risk? We've heard that these contracts are HR and administration contracts. What is the recourse if there is anything untoward in fulfilling these contracts?
