In terms of having the CDS come before us to let us know how spread out our forces are, I would ask for copies of communications between the CDS and the committee clerk, to determine whether or not he's being disrespectful of our committee by not coming after all this time or if he's being prevented. However, that would require a motion and we are all too familiar with the tyranny of the majority, which was mentioned earlier.
All that being said, in an ever-changing and evolving threat environment, what capabilities should the Royal Canadian Navy attempt to acquire, in the future?
