General Parent, it's good to see you again. I appreciate the time we got to spend down in Colorado Springs with you and General Jacoby and I also appreciate the hospitality. Unfortunately, since that time two years ago, our committee has changed quite a bit and only a couple of us who got to go on that tour and have those very informative briefings are still here.
In your opening comments you mentioned North Korea and the possibility of it having ballistic missiles now that it's had a successful space launch. When we were in Colorado Springs, there was a simulation of the United States defending against a ballistic missile. As things seem to be changing with North Korea and other state and non-state players and with weapons of mass destruction, how are all of those things challenging North American airspace and how do they affect NORAD? Can you talk to how, for a Canadian commander in NORAD headquarters, things play out when the U.S. decides to implement or needs to implement ballistic missile defence?
