I call the meeting to order.
This is the 40th meeting of the defence committee. We are continuing our study on Arctic search and rescue.
We have with us two witnesses in person. It's shocking. We're getting so used to having people online that we'll have to swear them in and all of that sort of stuff.
I will call on Neil O'Rourke, assistant commissioner of the Arctic region, to present for five minutes. I'm assuming that both Mr. Wight and Mr. O'Rourke will be willing to answer members' questions after that.
Go ahead, Mr. O'Rourke.
