Thank you, Mr. Chair. We'll divide it half and half, basically. That's the equitable way to do it.
Thank you for being here with us, Minister. We very much appreciate it.
We have a few questions.
Last week, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said that Canadians are convenors and “not a military power”. Do you hold with your colleague's view that we are not a military power, that we're just convenors, and therefore that military spending is not a priority?
