Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to begin by thanking our witness for being here with us today.
It's definitely a different perspective...not perspective, but you're bringing a different sector of the economy, I guess, or a different type of business than what we're used to.
You spoke about a lot of the benefits that choosing a Canadian company would have for all Canadians and for society at large, whether it's newcomers to Canada who get to work in these companies or just generally in terms of providing jobs to Canadians.
Because we're not used to hearing from small and medium-sized business, I guess I'll ask you this one question: Do you believe that Canadian companies have pretty much all that it takes or all that would be necessary or needed by the CAF? I know that when it comes to bigger companies and when it comes to larger procurement deals that require equipment that is going to be used by the military, it may be a little bit more difficult, but in terms of the small and medium-sized businesses, do you think that you can pretty much cover it? By “you” I mean the companies in Canada.
