Colleagues, as you know from the notice, we're here pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) to continue our study of the defence of North America.
We have two witnesses with us today who I hope will be understanding of the unpredictability of events on the Hill, which may shorten our time today.
We have from the Conference of Defence Associations Institute, Mr. David Perry, senior analyst, security and defence. As an individual, we have with us Ugurhan G. Berkok, professor, department of management and economics, from the Royal Military College of Canada.
Mr. Berkok, I understand you're prepared to go first as you have an electronic presentation. Please go ahead. You have 10 minutes.
