Good morning, everyone.
We're going to continue our study on readiness. It is the top of the hour, so we're going to get going.
We only have one witness today. We have Professor Philippe Lagassé, from the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa.
Mr. Lagassé, I welcome you to the committee. If you can bring us your opening comments and keep them within ten minutes, we would appreciate that.
