Thank you for that, Minister.
I was one of those guys who had to hitch a ride back in the day, and my knees and my ankles will tell you how bad some of the equipment was.
I'd like you to elaborate on the importance of the fact that we do have to stay well equipped, stay ahead of the equipment curve, and we have to ensure our troops have the right equipment for the theatres they may be called on to operate in.
I'd like you to discuss the need for looking forward, 10 years, 20 years, and sometimes even 25 or more years. What interested me in your presentation as well is that I don't think a lot of people quite understand the size of the infrastructure we have. You talked about the property, the sewer systems; in effect, those are small cities that we run.
Could you elaborate on that, please?
