Good afternoon and welcome to the 55thmeeting of the Standing Committee on National Defence, which might very well be the last in the 40th Parliament.
Pursuant to the Order of Reference of Monday, December 6, 2010, we are continuing with our consideration of Bill C-41, An Act to amend the National Defence Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts.
We have again with us our two expert witnesses from the Department of National Defence, Lieutenant-Colonel Dufour and Colonel Gleeson.
Thank you for being with us today. I know you will be able to answer questions members of the committee may have.
We are at clause 75.
I am going to give the floor to Mr. Hawn.
