I'd like to call our meeting to order and welcome our guests.
We have Charles Doran and Chris Sands from Johns Hopkins, and in-house we have Andrea Charron.
Thank you for coming.
Via video conference, from the Royal Military College, we have Joel Sokolsky.
Due to the limitations on time, our friends from Johns Hopkins, I believe, have to go at 9:30, so I'd like them to go first with their opening remarks. I would ask them, please, to focus their remarks on the defence of North America and aerial readiness.
We'd like to ask questions at the end, so if you could keep your remarks as brief as you can, I know it's difficult, we would appreciate it.
Mr. Doran or Mr. Sands, either one of you has the floor.
