Thank you, Chair.
General Coates, I'm going to follow up on the question of my colleague, Mr. Brahmi, about Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. I'm interested in how the decision-making goes down. You described a scenario where Admiral Truelove would independently make a decision, even if he didn't know what was going on—you, or I guess anybody else—and you also described the JTFW commander's decision to move in Calgary. Yet we have a situation described by Mr. Brahmi of the public safety minister and defence minister talking about deployment of troops.
How does this decision-making work, not only on this level, but with the Canada-U.S.? Are there pre-arranged protocols where you're called upon by USNORTHCOM, which says, “We need you”, and you just go? Or does there have to be authority given by someone else? And that's in both domestic cases and in the Canada-U.S. arrangement.
