Thanks very much, panel.
To answer Mr. Lloyd, one thing we're doing to create a sense of pride is Halifax International Fleet Week. I invite you to learn more about that.
Today I'd like to talk to you about space, Lieutenant-General.
In the coming months, this committee will be undertaking a study on space that I was inspired to initiate based on successive years of conversations at the Halifax International Security Forum and discussions with industry leaders. I'm very happy to see today, on the U.S. Department of Defense's website, that Canada participated in the meeting of the combined space operations initiative principals board, or CSpO, in Berlin recently. I think that is a very positive sign.
It seems very clear that space is, if not the final frontier in defence policy, certainly the next frontier. The committee is eager to learn more about how Canada is preparing for this shift, including what's happening with the armed forces in the 3 Canadian space division.
I wonder if we can take the time remaining to talk about how Canada is preparing to occupy the space of space domestically, and how we're going to be doing that with our international partners.
