Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'm not going to waste my time on this argument.
I'm glad to have these witnesses back here today. In previous sessions I have asked you about Canadian procurement and my concerns about both national security and intellectual property. I still have those same concerns, and those are going to be my focus today in our relations with NATO.
I want to start by trying to understand a little more about the NATO Support and Procurement Agency. Who is eligible to bid for contacts under that agency? Is it only NATO members, NATO partners? Whose trade rules apply in those procurement contracts?
