Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to thank our witnesses for appearing today.
Ms. Cianfarani, yesterday CADSI posted on LinkedIn, saying, “In the United States defence and security inform every aspect of a bilateral relationship. To be taken seriously in Washington, Canada must begin laying out a transparent, year-over-year fiscal track to meet its NATO commitments.”
That was linked to a news story that's headlined, “The U.S. needs a few good allies. Does it still need Canada?”
Can you answer that question? Does the U.S. still need Canada?
