Yes, I am.
First of all, it's nice to see all the commanders here from all the different parts of the Canadian Armed Forces. I appreciate the service and commitment that you're showing. Please pass on our best wishes to all members of the air force, navy, and army.
General Kenny, I want to start with you.
We talked about NORAD modernization and the role the F-35 is going to play. General Eyre also talked about the threat environment from Russia and also now with China.
I don't know if you saw the story earlier this morning, but the daily Telegraph in the U.K. is reporting that 30 Royal Air Force pilots have started training Chinese pilots on how defeat western fighter aircraft. The story also said that Canadians may have also been hired away from the Royal Canadian Air Force to work with the Communist Party of China on the same task.
Are you aware of that? What types of safeguards are in place to ensure that national security is not compromised by those individuals who are lured away by big paycheques?
