Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Burt.
I want to pick up on some of the comments that Ms. Gallant made, but put them into a broader context.
What this committee is dealing with and has received testimony on are really three things: the changing nature of conflict, asymmetries that are developing, and a pressing need to invest, especially in this segment of our study on the Canadian navy. I also think the retention and the extension of the trust of the Canadian public in our armed forces, and specifically with respect to your field of intelligence, is an area that you may want to comment on.
I want to ask you this. If you cast, let's say, a 10-year shadow back, could you tell us how your business has changed, starting out, perhaps, with international operations? I want to take you to the domestic side as well, but with respect to increasingly complex coalitions—different cultures, different intelligence cultures, but also operational cultures—that the Canadian Forces is going to be part of and is part of, how has the strategic and operational setting changed for you in the last 10 years? What gaps are there that the government could help you close?
