Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I come from a community that's very proud to be home to 22 Wing, a Canadian Forces base. I must say that in my community.... I'd just like to echo what my colleague mentioned about the pride. I find there's a lot of positive reaction to the government's general defence policy, to both your appointments and the launch of the Defence Investment Agency. That's what I'm hearing very much from the citizens in my riding.
I must say, Secretary of State Fuhr, that I enjoyed watching you on TV last week, going in and out of submarines. I thought that was very good. I watched all of the coverage. I was impressed as well. I understand that we're now down to two countries in a very short amount of time, so it seems to me like an efficient process.
I'm wondering if you might touch on that. When you describe the process, I almost get a sense that it's like a continual improvement process that you're engaged in, that you will learn as we go along and as we develop processes. I'm wondering if already there have been some lessons learned from our involvement with submarines or other acquisitions that we've made.
That's my first question.
