I'd like to bring this meeting to order. It's 8:15 and I see quorum.
We have with us this morning General Jennie Carignan and Lieutenant-General Stephen Kelsey to update us on the mandate and priorities of the chief of the defence staff.
On behalf of the committee, I want to welcome you in particular, General Carignan, and also you, General Kelsey. This is your first time here as the chief and the vice-chief of the defence staff, and we wish you only the best. With that, we also hope that we have a really good working relationship at the committee. I hope you will see this as a friendly location and, hopefully, as a collaborative, constructive committee.
We look forward to what you have to say in the next five minutes, and then we'll go to our rounds of questions. Again, thank you for coming, and congratulations to both of you.
You have your five minutes.
