Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Through you, to our witnesses, there are some, like my colleagues across the way, who question the utility of maintaining our partnership in an organization such as NATO, given that there are no conventional military threats to Canadian sovereignty or security. However, that line of thinking is somewhat naive, given the fact that those who would seek to do Canada harm are using new methods of attack, like cyber-attacks, terrorism, or other non-conventional threats.
In your opinion, what threats currently face members of NATO, and does the strategic concept paper address these threats to some extent?
