Thank you, Mr. Robillard.
We have a very small team of four people who attend three or four meetings per year, sometimes in Brussels, sometimes elsewhere, to oversee the progress of the studies commissioned by NIAG.
The NIAG studies are established by expert organizations within NATO who feel they can benefit from those studies. Once the studies have been approved by NIAG itself, there is an made effort by Canada
... and by other nations to find appropriate experts in order to assist NIAG in those studies.
As I mentioned previously, it is a little difficult for Canadian companies to collaborate in those studies because usually they are almost all done in Europe. The Americans take part at times, but we have not found experts from Canadian companies whose collaboration we want to obtain. I am responsible for finding them.
