Thank you, colleagues. We are resuming proceedings.
Our witnesses for the next 40 minutes, because we'll need to vote on the votes before we go into private committee business, are as introduced earlier. We have with us Deputy Minister Richard Fadden; Lieutenant-General Guy Thibault, vice-chief of the defence staff; Rear-Admiral Patrick Finn, chief of staff, materiel group; Kevin Lindsey, assistant deputy minister and chief financial officer; and Jaime Pitfield, assistant deputy minister, infrastructure and environment. As well, from the Communications Security Establishment, we have John Forster, the deputy head and chief.
Because of time constraints, we will make these five-minute rounds, beginning with Mr. Bezan, please.
