Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both of our witnesses today. There's been some interesting testimony.
I want to start with you, Dr. Lerhe, and something you raised toward the end of your presentation. You raised the idea that any significant deployment should go to Parliament for debate, for approval, and with that should come the cost of the deployment, the funding source of that deployment. Would you mind elaborating a little bit on why you see parliamentary debate and approval as being essential to deployment?
