I think it only hurts our ability to move forward in other agenda areas at NATO if we use that as a central theme.
Returning to a couple of things that Ms. Gallant asked about where, despite our political differences we sometimes agree, and that's both the size of our navy and the maintenance of a submarine capacity. You made a comment, Admiral Davidson, about the budget. It's been a concern of mine that while numbers are written on paper that the actual amounts being delivered to the Canadian Forces for capital expenditure are shoved so far down the road that we risk losing capabilities in the interim.
Is that in accord with your thinking or do you think we've already lost them?
