Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for your presentations.
Mr. Robertson, I'd like to ask my first question of you. You indicated in your opening remarks that Canada had made a commitment to spend 2% of its GDP on defence. I've never heard that. I know you have a long history in the diplomatic corps and perhaps you can enlighten us as to when that happened.
If you indeed believe it's the case, are you seriously suggesting—and I think you mentioned the figure of 1.1% this morning at another event—that Canada should nearly double its defence expenditure to get up to $35 billion or $36 billion a year?
Is that your position, and when did we commit to that?
