Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Once again, I have to do the lament of so much expertise and so little time. I don't want to have a distinguished admiral sitting before us and not give him a chance to talk about the shipbuilding strategy. Sometimes there's a tendency for people to say that the shipbuilding strategy has nothing to do with NATO. Your very presence here and your experience I think contradict that. I would like you to tell us a little more about Canada's naval contributions to NATO and the importance of those.
