I call this meeting to order.
We're at meeting number two of the Standing Committee on National Defence. Just so that everybody is aware, we are being recorded.
We are continuing with our briefings on Libya.
Joining us today is Her Excellency Sandra McCardell, the ambassador of Canada to Libya.
From the Department of National Defence, we have Major-General Jonathan Vance; Jill Sinclair, the assistant deputy minister of policy; and Captain Geneviève Bernatchez, the deputy judge advocate general of operations.
