Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of you for appearing before us today.
Welcome back to the deputy minister now. As I was joking with her earlier, the last time we were here, we were trying to discover which parts of the organization charts she was in charge of. Today that's a lot easier.
I'm not going to ask too many questions. I have complete confidence in your record in the Canadian Coast Guard to start with and now at the Department of National Defence, and I know you'll get very good work out of Mr. Matthews and Mr. Venner.
I'm going to focus my remarks on Commodore Bernatchez. We don't often get to talk about military justice in this committee. It's a favourite topic of mine, but first I want to congratulate you on your appointment.
