General Ross, it is nice to see you again. Thank you for being here. I can see that obviously worked with military precision.
I have a couple of comments and a question.
In looking at the materiel list, it doesn't seem to reflect the asymmetrical warfare that our men and women will be fighting in the future. At some time in the near future, a list will be needed to ensure our troops have the type of materiel they will need in order to fight in those types of environments.
I don't know whether an effort was made to solicit DND personnel to provide solutions, in an anonymous way, in terms of things they see from their perspective to improve efficiency and save money. It may be something to consider, if I may be so bold as to suggest it. Getting input from those who are on the ground and who could anonymously provide solutions would then elicit a response that could be helpful.
My question concerns the joint supply ship. Do you anticipate when there'll be an effective project approval date? Has a date been set at all?
