Chair, thank you very much. I'll be sharing my time with my colleague, Mr. de Burgh Graham.
My question is for Mr. Green.
Thank you for being with us. Thank you for your expertise. I'd also like to thank you for your past service as an officer in the United States Army. I also serve on our Standing Committee on National Defence, and from the perspective of our armed forces I just want to let you know how much we value our friendship and alliance with the United States.
