Thank you very much.
Again, on the issue of International Women's Day, I also noticed the good planning of the chair and the clerk. I'd like to salute you on having arranged for having these high-level and powerful women, a great example for all Canadians.
I wanted to ask you.... We've been studying readiness, as you know, for quite a while, and it's been raising quite a lot of questions for us about what we need to be ready for. While we aren't issued crystal balls, you are subject matter experts, I would argue. We've talked with some witnesses about threats versus vulnerabilities on which you should be focusing. What are some of the vulnerabilities that you see?
I'm certainly interested in the Foreign Affairs perspective as well around the world. What are the hot spots? Do you anticipate that the Canadian Forces are going to need to continue to be ready for a full-spectrum operation, or are we going to be looking more towards counter-insurgency still? Or are we looking more at cyber-security threats or little flare-ups? What do we need to be preparing for that will allow us to determine how ready we are to address those vulnerabilities? An easy question to start.
