I would like to welcome everyone to the Standing Committee on National Defence. This is our 30th meeting. Today, pursuant to the agenda and Standing Order 108(2), we are continuing our study of the next generation of fighter aircraft.
Our witnesses today are from the Department of National Defence. We will have the honour of hearing from Lieutenant-General Deschamps, Chief of the Air Staff, and Colonel Dave Burt, Acting Project Manager, Next Generation Fighter Capability.
Thank you and welcome.
So, monsieur, you have about ten minutes to do your presentation, and after that all members will have the floor. It's up to you. Thank you very much.
