Good morning.
I'd like to welcome everyone to the defence committee this morning. Gentlemen, welcome.
This morning we have Major-General Al Meinzinger, director of staff, strategic joint staff; Major-General Derek Joyce, director general, international security policy; and Major-General William Seymour, chief of staff operations, Canadian Joint Operations Command. Thank you very much for coming.
General Meinzinger, I believe you have opening remarks. I'll pass the floor to you.
Sir, you have the floor.
