Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to thank the minister and all the members from the defence team for being here today to help us go through the main estimates.
Yesterday, Minister, I had the opportunity to meet with the provost marshal along with representatives from Ukraine, from their military police. Of course, as you know, we are leading the subcommittee on the joint commission with the Ukraine and the United States and United Kingdom on training, as you mentioned earlier, Ukrainian military members.
The military police one is an interesting leadership role that we're taking amongst our coalition partners, but can you speak in general terms, and also to the specifics, on why it's important that Canada is participating in and standing with our Ukrainian friends and on the work we're doing with NATO in Operation Reassurance?
