Thank you, Rear admirable—I think that's a Freudian slip.
You've noted in your comments the fine reputation of the Royal Canadian Navy. I would certainly second that idea. I thank friends and naval cadets newly joined to the armed forces, the Royal Canadian Navy.
You mentioned that your focus is on preserving an increasing operational readiness. I'm wanting to understand the challenges that you face, given the steady decline in the RCN's ability to achieve required levels of readiness according to the December 2013 evaluation of naval forces. You talked in your remarks also about having to—or doing the best to—preserve some degree of freedom in your manoeuvre, given the lack of supply ships, so there are a lot of challenges that you face. The navy will be obliged to do less with less according to this review. I just wonder if you could give us a few words about what kinds of things you are having to put aside given the decrease in funding and the failure to replace ships in a timely way?
