Good morning, everyone. We have a full day ahead of us.
We're at meeting number 11, continuing our study on readiness of the Canadian Armed Forces. Today we have as our witness General Walter Natynczyk, the Chief of the Defence Staff. And joining him is the Canadian Forces' chief warrant officer, Chief Petty Officer 1st Class Bob Cléroux.
Welcome, both of you.
General, I'll open the floor to you for your opening comments.
