Very good.
I would very quickly, with the indulgence of the committee, like to share an anecdote.
Some constituents in my riding of Kitchener—Waterloo, a group of 10 people from a church, were in Haiti. They arrived about a week before the earthquake. Obviously, when they went to the country, they had no idea what was in store for them as the earthquake unfolded. With the assistance of Foreign Affairs officials and Canadian Forces personnel, they were successfully evacuated out of Haiti. I know that they are eternally grateful, so, on their behalf, I thank you.
Moving on to the upcoming G-8 and G-20, I note in the supplementary estimates (C) that there's $11.7 million devoted to security operations and policing for the upcoming G8 and the G20. Could you please--through you, Mr. Chair--elaborate on what the role of the Canadian Forces will be in terms of providing security at those two important international meetings, and perhaps explain what some of those expenses are, and what the money will be used for.
