Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is my first time speaking at the Standing Committee on National Defence. Before I begin, I'd like to thank the brave women and men who serve in the Canadian Armed Forces and the Canadian Coast Guard. I thank them for protecting us.
Mr. Pyun, I hope you're doing well. I'm very pleased to welcome a representative from Bombardier, which is a source of Canadian, international and Quebec pride.
Over the past decade, the Liberal government hasn't focused on defence building in Canada. Do you think the country left well-paying jobs and economic growth on the table?
