Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
Since we began our work, we have met several people who have all confirmed that there seems to be an obvious threat coming from Russia, China and North Korea.
The relevance of NORAD is increasingly clear, and that is why I am particularly interested in the command and control aspect. We know that several agencies provide information to NORAD. In the case of a real threat, since we are not involved in anti-ballistic missile defence, we do not have access to that information, and it could take a long time before it gets to us.
In your opinion, is the fact that Canada does not have access to that information an important issue?
I would also like to know, regarding command and control, if you think we can react fast enough.
