Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. It is a pleasure to be here.
Thank you to all three of you for being here today.
Back in 2017, I had the pleasure of being invited aboard HMCS Vancouver, one of our beautiful frigates out on the west coast, and they took me for a sailing to show me its capabilities. For anyone who's been on the frigate while it's pretty much ready to go, it has a very large crew to make that ship work. It's a 100-metre long ship. I know that a frigate, of course, is classified as direct-action capable. It's capable of many different roles, but of course the personnel aboard that ship serve many different roles. With some, you could look at their job position and argue that it's indirect or that they are helping sustain the ship.
In your classification system, you're essentially looking at the unit when classifying, so everyone in that unit, no matter what their role—because it is a direct role—is going to be classified under that cost. Am I reading this right? Is it the same for the Canadian Army and for the Royal Canadian Air Force?
