Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
General Benjamin, I'm just going to pick up from when I asked the first question in terms of your responsibility to project a force. You've explained that very well. To continue on, as you plan and project the needed force, as you described it, can you please go back for me to, I believe, 1995, when the changes were occurring? Do you recall specifically that in the 1995 budget, well over $13 billion was allocated for your new equipment, under the Liberal government? Of course, you knew the equipment, but we didn't know what your needs were. Given that some of this equipment takes time, can you please explain to me or elaborate?
Because you have to go out and contract certain equipment that we don't have today—the 2005 budget, I apologize—what equipment did you identify then that is forthcoming, and what equipment do you need today that is on order, is to be ordered, or is in the process of being ordered? What are we anticipating for today's theatre and for whatever might happen in the future?
