Thank you, sir.
As you know, we've been out to CFB Petawawa and CFB Edmonton, and we've talked to some soldiers. It's been very worthwhile for us to be able to do that, and we appreciate the cooperation we've had on those bases as we've gone out.
Just before I get into the first round of questioning, I want to say there were two things that came up when we were talking in Edmonton in a round table with some folks who had just come back. They're not big equipment items, but they need decent shoes, so could you do something about that for them? They also need some kind of modular vest so that they will have an opportunity to suit up for the day they've got ahead of them.
I don't know if you've addressed those issues or not. We can talk about tanks and Ilyushins and all kinds of things, and C-12s and whatever, but shoes seemed to be important that day.
