Thank you.
In the interests of time—because of our votes, we are delayed—we're going to have both of our witnesses appear together as we continue with our study under Standing Order 108(2) on the NATO strategic concept and Canada's role in international defence cooperation. Joining us are Jack Granatstein and Professor Ernie Regehr.
We welcome both of you.
Professor Regehr is a research fellow from the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Waterloo.
We're looking forward to your opening comments.
If each of you can bring us your opening comments and keep them under 10 minutes, that would be very much appreciated.
Mr. Granatstein, could you start first?
