Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Jennings, for being here and sharing your perspective.

It's probably no surprise that I'm going to speak about the GDP and the commitments we have both made to come toward 2%. My belief is that in some countries it's kind of apples and oranges. I'm interested in Australia. The U.S. includes the Coast Guard in its budget, but Canada doesn't. Do you include the coast guard in your budget, and do you arm your coast guard?
