Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Gentlemen, DND is requesting $652.2 million in funding to support the sustainment of investments made under the Canada First defence strategy. In DND's report on plans and priorities for 2014-15, it's indicated that DND and the CAF will renew the Canada First defence strategy, and that this revised strategy will build on the successes of the original Canada First defence strategy.
I have a couple of questions. When can we expect the renewed CFDS to be publicly released? Can you explain how the government's deficit reduction action plan has affected the implementation of the strategy? What will be the top priorities of the renewed strategy, and how different will the new strategy be from the original one that was adopted in 2008?
