Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I too would like to thank our witnesses for appearing before us today. I also want to congratulate you for the important work you've done in your careers—certainly very impressive—and the work you continue to do.
My first question is this. In light of NATO's strategic concept, with its three roles or three principal tasks, as I think you refer to them in your presentation, could you describe the strengths and weaknesses of Canada as an ally in delivering on these fronts? Perhaps I will ask you to put a little more emphasis on our weaknesses.
