Thank you, Chair.
Welcome to our witnesses.
The approach we are taking here is to ask what is it that we need? What are the tools that we need? What are the new realities upcoming? Mr. Harris mentioned that in the Arctic, 17 out of 33 ships are apparently not operational, and some of them are elsewhere. Now, you mentioned that when it comes to intelligence we know what's going on, but the question here is what are the tools you need to be able to do the job? You mentioned, with your thumbs-up, if I understood correctly, that everything was fine. But at the same time I'm a little confused. We're not going to get those ships for the next 20 years, so what are the threats coming in? What is it that we need?
