Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to thank our witnesses for being here today and also for indulging us while we had to go for votes. I know your time is precious, and we appreciate all that you and the members under your command do for Canada, both at home and abroad.
General Wheeler, it's always great to see you and I know that we had a chance to visit through the winter a couple of times, but I did want to go back to one comment that was made by Ms. Murray regarding the Auroras and trying to diminish the capabilities that are there.
Could you talk about what the Aurora capability means to us right now, not just from an air force standpoint, but what it's doing in Operation IMPACT in Iraq today? Also, General Wheeler, you did mention how it is one of the best aerial surveillance capabilities in the world. Could you talk to how it performed in RIMPAC not that many months ago, and the great job it pulled off there?
