Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to the witnesses for their presentations.
I have a question for both of you. How have the security threats facing North America evolved and how are they evolving in view of Russia's latest adventure in Ukraine, and also the flexing of muscles from the Chinese in the Scarborough Shoal with the Philippines, and claiming Japanese islands, and so on? Because these two countries are in very close proximity and there are talks between the two countries to have a kind of military alliance and so on, and because these two countries have similar regimes, what is the threat that is facing the North American continent, and what do you suggest that we as Canada—the second largest country by territory in the world—should be doing?
