Thank you so much, Minister. I want to thank you for your service, and thank the departmental members and other witnesses who have come.
You will be free to go unless you want to stay for a second panel.
On our second panel, we are pleased to have with us, already introduced, Lieutenant-General Wayne Eyre. We look forward to your testimony. As well, we have Lieutenant-General Frances Allen, who is Canada's military representative to the NATO military committee in Brussels, Belgium.
Each of you will have five minutes for your comments.
We'll begin with you, Lieutenant-General Wayne Eyre.
