Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you so much for your testimony here today. It was actually incredibly helpful.
I think in our last meeting, I asked the major-general whether he had a line of sight or there was someone within CAF who understood the capabilities of provinces and territories. You mentioned municipalities, and I didn't even go there, but certainly that would be a big factor.
I can also appreciate that in his role, he's dealing with the crisis on the ground in the current situation, and that looking at what provinces and territories are doing probably isn't at the forefront of his thinking. I also wonder—and I wonder if you have any insight into this or if it is part of what you think this review of emergency capability should be—whether that definition of “last resort” is getting stretched further and further.
Are we seeing provinces and territories just not increasing capabilities because the expertise is there when they call on it? Do you have any commentary on that, or is that part of the review that we should look at?
