Very good. This is Professor David Bercuson, director of the Centre for Military and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary. Welcome.
It looks like this may work.
We're going to have Mr. Bland present first, and then you, and then we'll open it up for some questions. There's a pretty strict order of proceedings to go by as far as timing and who gets to ask questions when.
Before we start, I'd just like to thank the committee once again for electing me as chair. It really is an honour, and I appreciate that. I congratulate Mr. Cannis and Mr. Bachand as vice-chairs.
Mr. Cannis.
