MGen Mark McQuillan

In simple terms, we are at various stages of discussion and very much at the governmental level in terms of consideration. So we're moving. We've had great support inside the department thus far in terms of the minister. The concept will evolve. And then as we deal in certain regions, again, we will get the appropriate authorities to engage fully. In essence, we are engaging at various levels, but that's at the government level at this point.

Good. Thank you.

General, I really appreciate your coming in and taking time out of your busy schedule to brief all of us here and to help us with our study on readiness. We're looking forward to getting near the end of this in the next month and being able to start working on a report, which hopefully will provide some input and direction to you and your colleagues. So thank you very much.

With that, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
