I'd like to thank all three of you for participating in our discussion today.
As I mentioned at the beginning, it's our last formal meeting on this particular topic. Now we're going to be talking about drafting instructions and recommendations to the Government of Canada on how we can make things better.
This conversation started some months ago. Obviously, after the last U.S. presidential election there was a lot of talk about NATO. The conversations seemed to shift to burden sharing and expenditures almost exclusively, which are important. Most people would agree those are important, but participation, capabilities, and all sorts of other things matter too. It's important that those things are considered, and it's a more complex conversation than just talking about who's spending what on NATO. We have a lot of work to do.
I want to thank you again for your participation in this conversation. We're going to suspend right now so we can get to work.
Thank you very much.
