Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My apologies, but I come from the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. I also think that the committee's focus is to prepare the Canadian Armed Forces, but Canadians' focus is their general safety. That is what makes the diplomatic and preventive aspects extremely important.
I was going to suggest another amendment, which I don't think is restrictive, but I have unfortunately not drafted it. Its aim was simply to ask that the chair look into the possibility of holding some or all of the meetings jointly with the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
