Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I am glad that you got us started on report 5, because even though it didn't come up earlier in my questions, when I look at these five reports, this is the one that really stands out to me. In the overall purpose of what we are trying to do here as a federal government, national defence is a number one job, and it concerns me greatly.
I think we are going to have the opportunity to learn more, to dig deeper into this problem of recruitment and of being understaffed. Was it a problem simply of recruitment, or was it saving money somewhere and not putting the right...? Were the equipment deficiencies and training deficiencies a problem of being penny-wise and pound foolish? This is a number one job for me, and one that really stands out.
