Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Welcome to the witnesses appearing before us this morning.
My first question is for Admiral Robertson. I don't know how you would proceed to weigh the value of the different projects. The government announced six projects costing a total of $20 billion. Of this amount, $16 billion are for the air force, $3 billion for the maritime forces and $1 billion for the land forces.
First, I would like to know what your reaction is to this. Do you believe the air force has such pressing needs that it requires 70% of the total amount allocated? Only 15% of the total amount would be allocated to the maritime forces. Do you support the breakdown of this amount between the three army corps in other words the marine, air and land forces?
