I agree with you. Certainly, I know how important bringing this bill here is, so I want to say thank you for this. I know you mean well by saying you're looking forward to seeing this bill come to this committee so that we can advance it and make it even stronger, so I appreciate this.
I want to take you back to the conversation we had about 2% and the DPU, but we also tend to forget, as do, maybe, some of our partners and our allies, the strong commitment on NORAD.
As you said, we know, unfortunately, that some members in the House of Commons will vote against this particular estimate in the budget, which has a direct impact on providing the operational readiness you mentioned.
Could you share some thoughts about why it is so important that we pass this budget as soon as possible?
