Thank you.
Thank you, Minister and officials, for being here this afternoon.
I have a couple of questions pertaining to supplementary estimates (C), if you'll permit me.
First of all, Minister, as we know, Canada hosted both the G-8 and the G-20 summits last year. These were the largest and most extensive security events in Canadian history. As we know, G-8 and G-20 leaders and their rather sizable delegations were able to visit Canada to do business here and do business in a safe and secure environment. That was certainly no small task.
How much did the Department of National Defence contribute to the overall government effort to ensure that these events were secure?
