Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for their service and for being here today.
My questions are for Mr. Grewal.
I was just reading a press release from March 26 about the government's plans to spend half a trillion dollars on defence procurement over the next decade. I'm interested in a couple of things. First, are you seeing a shift in defence procurement? Are you seeing that money coming out in your direction?
Second, you talked about this northern camp where you do training for us and our allies. I anticipate that you interact with soldiers from other countries. Which country is doing a good job of that, and how do we get our veterans...? I assume our veterans have a talent pool, battlefield instincts and all this kind of stuff.
Warfare is changing. We can't necessarily just write it out on paper. For some of this stuff, a soldier is going to see something and say, “We need this.” Coming to the committee and telling us about this takes a long time, so having veterans embedded in this whole process would seem to allow us to have some of that instinct.
Can you address those three areas?
