Mr. Coulter, thank you for joining us today.
We're very interested in your qualifications and your work. Thank you for your service in the military. It sounds like you had a very interesting and exciting military career as well.
Let me ask you a question about the challenge function that you're talking about. We've been told over the years on this committee that there is a rigorous and high-level challenge function within the Department of National Defence by senior people who are very knowledgeable. That must have been inadequate, apparently. Is it?
