Thank you.
Again through the chair, the reality of the Canadian Armed Forces is that today it's much more complex. Misperceptions surrounding it have significant consequences, in our opinion. Our armed forces play a unique role within Canadian society. They're often the face of the government.
My question is this: How is it possible for the Canadian Armed Forces to plan for the defence of North America if we cannot determine the basic facts concerning our ability to fly missions in our north?
