General, I really appreciate your comments and candour with the committee today on our study on readiness. Hopefully we'll be able to put together a report that will provide value to the Canadian Forces, the public and government, and of course to our colleagues in Parliament. Thank you, General Semianiw, for joining us.
As a reminder for the committee, on Thursday Minister MacKay will be appearing. He has cabinet at 9:30, so I'm going to call the meeting for 8:15 so we can have a full hour with the minister and accommodate his schedule. It's a little bit earlier for all of us.
On December 6 we have the Royal Canadian Navy booked, and we have the Vice-Chief of Defence staff on December 8. The 15th is not confirmed yet, but I'm hoping to have the air force. Then we will get into the directions for drafting the report.
Mr. McKay.
