It probably came out of some major defence budget and will be subject to examination by this committee at some future point.
I want to thank the minister for his appearance, as well as General Eyre, Deputy Minister Matthews and various and assorted others who are all familiar with appearing before this committee.
The reason for the meeting is that a defence policy update was issued last week. I know the minister wishes to speak to it, and I know the committee is interested in hearing what he has to say.
With that, I will turn it over to Minister Blair.
Welcome to the committee again. We look forward to what you have to say.
