Thank you very much.

Thank you very much Major-General and Colonel for your presentations.

I have a question to Major-General Wheeler. In your position, as commander of the Canadian NORAD region, can you speak to this committee about the surveillance and warning operations currently in place and how they contribute to the defence of North America?

You were speaking about NORAD; you were speaking about the surveillance of the airspace. Colonel Ménard mentioned the radar squadron. Before joining the Canadian Armed Forces I was in the radar defence in the defunct Warsaw Pact, so it is quite of interest to me to know how the surveillance is connected with defence.
