Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, to both witnesses, for your service and for being here today.
Vice-Admiral, CJOC leads most CAF operations in Canada and around the world, and that is no small task, as we know. We're here today to the threat analysis and readiness of the Canadian Armed Forces.
When looking at the threats, I want to begin with the internal or systematic threats you face that are internal, so non-violent threats, but threats that come from perhaps a lack of capacity or a lack of funding or staffing. Put another way, are you provided with the best tools to properly do the job that needs to be done?
