Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting 11 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on National Defence.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House Order of September 23. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website.
Witnesses, if you will give us a couple minutes to begin, we have a couple of small issues of committee business to deal with. Hopefully we'll keep them to a minimum. Then we will start with you, our witnesses.
On committee business, a steering committee report was circulated. We need a motion to approve that report. There were suggestions for amendments, but it became clear that there were members who were reticent to accept amendments. I don't think there are any amendments now; it's just the steering committee report as it currently stands.
