Thank you very much.
I'm very happy to be here with you.
I will speak in English today because it's my first language.
I'm going to keep it short by not talking about two possible subjects within this larger topic. I am not going to speak about submarines, although if you wish to ask me about submarines I'd be happy to talk with you. I have been very public for a number of years about my view that it's time for a serious discussion as to whether a procurement for new submarines should be launched in the near future, or whether we should get out of the submarine business altogether in this country. I can explain to you why I think the Victoria class submarines should be decommissioned ASAP. I think they're a terrible waste of money.
But I'm not going to talk about the submarines today.
