Colleagues, because of time considerations and the vicissitudes of parliamentary procedure, we will get under way immediately.
As you know, we are here to consider the supplementary estimates (C) 2014-15, vote 1c under the Communications Security Establishment and vote 1c under National Defence, referred to this committee on Thursday, February 19, 2015.
We have two witnesses appearing before us today: the Hon. Jason Kenney, P.C., MP, Minister of National Defence; and the Hon. Julian Fantino, P.C., MP, the Associate Minister of National Defence.
We will begin with opening statements.
Mr. Harris, on a point of order.
