Perfect.
Thank you, gentlemen, for being here today.
As my first question, within the Indo-Pacific strategy, it states, “Canada will increase our military engagement and intelligence capacity as a means of mitigating coercive behaviour and threats to regional security.” As well, “Canada will deploy additional military assets and increase its investments in border and cyber security, as well as in intelligence.”
I recognize that this is something that we definitely need to do, and that it's a great commitment. However, as we all know, commitment needs to be backed up with capability. I'm wondering if you could address how the Canadian government intends to increase our capabilities, in both the cybersphere and more traditional military areas, to meet our commitments laid out in the Indo-Pacific strategy.
