Thank you for the opportunity to be here with you today.
As commander of the air force, I am committed to ensuring that the members of the Royal Canadian Air Force are trained, organized and equipped to meet the demands that the Government of Canada makes of them. In so doing, I have to focus on things that are within our control and the elements of what we're dealing with as we implement this very important and significant shift for the RCAF in terms of the advancement in technology and the advancement in our ability to safeguard Canadians and Canadian sovereignty, which is extremely important.
We are very focused on ensuring that we have all of the elements in place in as timely a fashion as possible, and we're working very closely with all of our partners within the Department of National Defence and the other government departments to ensure success.
