Thank you for the question. Let me answer first, then Colonel Irwin can answer too.
You're right that a smart defence is all about making the most out of defence budgets. Obviously, it goes without saying that everybody is feeling a fiscal restraint.
In terms of the capabilities that Canada can offer, and the most important, we have to look at this both in terms of what we need for our own national defence.... Because we have three oceans, vast territory, and a lot of national responsibility, Canada has to think about how we meet those responsibilities—that's what the Canada First defence strategy is all about—and then how we take that to the broader community of NATO.
What we found over time, especially now that we have things like the C-17 that gives us strategic airlift and things like that, is our ability to bring that expeditionary quality to NATO. We have a tremendous flexibility and an ability to sustain that a lot of our allies don't have, and that's because of our own national requirements: being able to go long distances, being able to sustain, having our armed forces members—and again, Brian can speak to this in more detail—plan for difficult operations, whether they're in Canada or abroad. So we bring an expertise and a training to the NATO family.
Also, increasingly, we've been using enablers, like UAVs and other things, to bring to NATO. Canada's track record of bringing our capability to NATO, and sustaining it, is one of the best in the alliance.
I don't know, Brian, if you'd like to add, or if, Chair, he might....
