Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, General, for appearing in front of our committee. I congratulate you for your excellent military career and your recent appointment.
You have combined very successfully two illustrious professions—the profession of arms and the profession of engineering—in the service of the country, and I am very pleased about this situation. I am sure that as CDS you will make good use of engineering principles in your important function.
Along this line, I have the following questions. As a former commander of the RMC, what do you think is the most important factor in a military education, and what is the best way to ensure that military education translates into effective and efficient officers in the future?
