Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, professor, for your presentation.
I will start first with general questions referring basically to how the changing of the international security environment affects Canada and North America from a defence and security perspective.
I am looking at the recent changes that we can observe in Ukraine and the flexing by Russia of its muscles, and various military scenarios. How do you see these affecting, or have they affected, relations between Canada and the United States?
