Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to change to the potential acquisition of a large amphibious assault-style ship. I know that's been discussed. The Royal Canadian Navy discussed that in “Leadmark 2050”.
Looking at the future, the changing nature of threats, and what the Royal Canadian Navy would potentially be involved in, I want to hear your opinion. Do you believe that this would be an integral part of any future Canadian Navy needs? Or should we be concentrating in other areas? Should we be concentrating more on the surface, on capital ships and submarines? Or do you think an acquisition of amphibious-style ships would also be important?
