Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The witnesses mentioned before—and I believe it was General Pelletier, so we'll see how this goes—in response to a question on infrastructure and the investments in the north, that there's a bit of concern—and I understand the difficulty in terms of Defence coming in and needing to put in what they need—that the needs of people on the ground will be an afterthought. We heard last week testimony from Dr. Lackenbauer talking about smart defence investments and expanding on that in terms of how we've done things in the past and doing things very differently.
Could you expand on those ideas, on how we're specifically dealing with the lack of infrastructure in terms of roads, the Internet, access to clean drinking water and housing, and how we're ensuring that we're doing things differently so that it's not so top-down?
