Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for joining us today.
Mr. Mueller, it's great to see you here. I had the opportunity to discuss a lot of this in Abbotsford, British Columbia, during the air show. I also had the opportunity to meet with House representatives in the Pacific northwest, in the respective regions of our neighbours down south. Having our defence system so interconnected, we talked a lot about how many of the suppliers come from Canada.
In your opening remarks, you talked about how we can manufacture in the aerospace sector from tail to nose. I have some experience there. Many years ago, I used to work on aircraft.
With respect to the suppliers and the capacity of our suppliers here, how can we do that sovereignly in Canada?
