I call the meeting to order.
This is the 10th meeting of the Standing Committee on National Defence.
I am pleased to see that Major-General Prévost is back with us. Thank you, sir, for your reattendance here. I am sure members will have questions for you.
I understand that Mr. Hamilton and Madam Kutz are here to provide support on this very timely topic.
Colleagues, my intention today is to ask our witnesses to speak first and then for us to go to the rounds of questions. Once we're finished the rounds of questions, I'll ask you to stay on and approve the rather modest budget, as well as the subcommittee report. The members of the subcommittee met on Monday and we have a report for you that we hope you'll approve.
With that, I'll ask Major-General Prévost to introduce himself and his colleagues and to make whatever remarks he wishes to make.
Go ahead, Major-General Prévost.
