Thank you for coming, Ms. Sinclair.
In our previous study, we spoke about the concept of smart defence on a number of occasions. We realized that, if every country tried to have armed forces equipped for every operational capability, it would not be financially viable. So we came to the conclusion that we had to come together, with other NATO countries, for example, to choose what our contribution would be so that our armed forces could provide operational capability while still remaining financially viable. It is most valid given that we have NATO, of course, but we also have missions with the United Nations. So we have to invest our money wisely in order to be able to meet all our obligations and not, for example, have to set UN missions to one side.
I would like to know your opinion of the aspects that Canada would be both interested in and able to provide, if we were moving towards the concept of smart defence.
