As I've said, the Department of National Defence joined the Czech coalition to supply Ukraine with 155-millimetre artillery shells. That's the international coalition. Many other countries joined with financial contributions to allow our Czech colleagues to procure and supply those 155-millimetre artillery shells to Ukraine.
We greatly value that, but we also see that in general there is a lack of production capability around the world. We also see it as we are starting our own production. There are a lot of supply chain issues for this production. We started to talk about this two years ago. The defence industry is now our great partner, but also a big bottleneck. By working together, we need to ensure that we are all able to produce. Sometimes it's not about the funding; it's just the physical capacity.
I would also like to thank the many Canadian defence producers who are working on production of this military supply. I think a bigger part of the military support that Canada has provided for us is produced in Canada here. I visited a lot of them and I really want to take this opportunity to thank those companies, and the people who are working there, for their efforts.
