Thank you, Mr. Chair. You're doing a bang-up job in your role. I appreciate that.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
Ms. Hadwen, you had referred in your opening statements to the increase in defence spending relative to Canada's NATO commitment and the intersection that has with the dual use policy and the broader defence strategy. I would like to build off that for a moment.
I'm assuming you're aware that we have learned through Order Paper questions and other government information that over $10 billion of the so-called new federal spending on defence is actually just reclassified money that the government was already spending on things on infrastructure, pensions and the Coast Guard. Are you aware of that?
