Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a couple of quick questions.
First, we talked about investments. Of course, NATO has the aspirational target of 2% of GDP. Do you believe that if Canada were able to start making strides toward that aspirational target of 2% of GDP it would provide the money to make the investments into the extra ships that are required for the Royal Canadian Navy?
Second, is there the capacity in the existing shipyards to actually produce those extra ships? That goes above and beyond what's currently in the national shipbuilding strategy.
