Very good.
The next question...somewhat succinct, but perhaps both of you could answer.
How important is it to sustain long-term viability, not only of the Canadian Forces but also of the security of our nation through the procurement of new state-of-the-art equipment, and to ensure interoperability with our allies? In a previous question you were asked I think you agreed that interoperability...and the fact that Canada will be joining partners, in all likelihood NATO partners, in any future operations.
Could you both respond to that?
