Hello, everyone. Welcome to meeting 28 of the Standing Committee on National Defence. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by this committee on Monday, February 23, 2009, we will continue our study on Arctic sovereignty.
We have the pleasure of having with us, by video conference from Denmark, Rear Admiral Nils Wang of the Royal Danish Navy.
We are ready to hear from you, Mr. Wang. Thank you for being with us at this time in your country. You have seven to eight minutes. After that, the members of this committee will ask you questions.
Perhaps you can start.
Thank you for being with us.
