Good morning, everyone. We're going to continue with our meetings for our study on readiness in the Canadian Armed Forces.
Joining us this morning is Vice-Admiral Paul Maddison, the commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, along with Chief Petty Officer 1st Class Claude Laurendeau, who is accompanying the commander this morning. I want to welcome you both to the committee and we're looking forward to your opening remarks.
You have the floor, Admiral.
