Thank you, Chair. Thank you, gentlemen, for coming.

I need to pick up on a couple of things Mr. Coderre addressed. The first one is helicopters in Afghanistan. We've got eight Griffons in Afghanistan. We have approximately 125 helicopters in the Canadian Forces. So is it fair to say eight will not unduly jeopardize helicopter resources for the Vancouver mission?
