Colleagues, I'd like to call this meeting to order, as we're pressed for time.
Before I introduce our witnesses today, there's some housekeeping we need to take care of. We will be as quick as we possibly can.
As you recall, at our previous meeting the request from committee members was to ask for the Minister of National Defence to appear before the committee. We've been notified that, given his schedule, the minister is not available to come before our committee before mid-October. I'll put that on the floor for any discussions or any comments. The floor is open.
Monsieur Dosanjh.
