Thank you, Chair.

Minister, thank you for being here.

It's been widely reported this morning that for the first time since 1990, Canada hit our 2% NATO defence spending target, fulfilling our new government's promise to rearm our Canadian Armed Forces. On that note, can you please talk to me about vote 50 in the supplementary estimates and what it will do more broadly for the Canadian Armed Forces?
