Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for appearing today. It's really appreciated.
Mr. Shimooka, you mentioned in your opening remarks that we have a new global era of competition, marked by increased modernization of the military and lots of new technical advances.
Can you give us some sense of what other militaries are doing in terms of this modernization and advancement and tell us if the Canadian military is keeping pace with that, and also how COVID-19 may be affecting our ability to do that?
