Thank you, Chair.
That's what happens when you talk about your good weather on the lower mainland.
So, Mr. Chair, I've just been out in the snow and the cold, experiencing these arctic conditions.
I want to thank all of our presenters for their very stimulating contributions to our study. I have a number of brief questions, and I'm going to ask for brief responses.
Professor Battiss, you said that NATO capabilities are evolving. Could you give us a comparison between NATO's capabilities in 2001 and today with regard to readiness? What do you see, in very overall terms? I am not requesting a detailed answer, just your general assessment.
