We'll now resume the proceedings of our 38th meeting. Colonel J.P.L. Meloche, who is Director of Official Languages, is still with us. We also welcome Colonel J.J.R.G. Hamel, who is Commander of Canadian Forces Base Borden, as well as Lieutenant-Colonel S.J.R. Whelan, Commander of Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School. It is also our pleasure to welcome once again to the committee Major-General J.P.Y.D. Gosselin, Commander of the Canadian Defence Academy.
General, I believe you want to make an opening speech. Go ahead please.
