Thank you, General. Your comments today and interchanges with our committee members really played into everything we've been doing at this committee.
We are just finishing off the readiness study, and we'll be tabling that report shortly. We are wrapping up our look at NATO and the strategic concept. We are in the middle of the care of the ill and injured study. You've talked to that component as well. You also alluded to some of the work we plan on doing with the defence of North America, NORAD, and to maritime surveillance with the United States.
We appreciate your testimony today. We've also been very impressed with all the members of the Canadian Forces who have testified before committee and have helped us do these studies. We are very impressed today with your testimony as well.
I want to again add my congratulations to your appointment as CDS. We can see there is a great deal of expertise you're bringing to the table and leadership you're going to undertake as commander for all components of the Canadian armed forces.
I want to pass on our best wishes for a merry Christmas and a happy new year. I ask that you share that with all members of the Canadian armed forces, whom we're very proud of and whom we keep in our thoughts and prayers at this time of year.
A point of order, Mr. Harris.
