Thank you, Mr. Chair, and through you, thank you, Mr. Humire, for being with us today.
I also represent our party on the national defence committee. Much of this discussion reminds me of the one we have at the defence committee. We're currently doing a study on the readiness of our Canadian Forces. What we end up talking about a lot are the capabilities of our forces in the context of threats and vulnerabilities. What we never seem to get from a security perspective is a real assessment of those threats to and vulnerabilities of our country, which is what we're talking about today. We leap ahead to an assessment of our capabilities and proposals about our capabilities without understanding those threats and vulnerabilities.
You've put to us today some proposals on what this country should be doing to increase security. Can you provide us with an assessment of existing threats and, more importantly than the threats, the existing vulnerabilities of this country to those threats?
