Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank both generals for being here. It's great seeing you again. Thank you for your long service and dedication to the Canadian Armed Forces and to this country.
General Parent, I've always appreciated our exchanges over the years when you were deputy commander of NORAD and commander of NORAD for the Canadian region when you were in Winnipeg.
There are a few people around this table who don't believe in ballistic missile defence or that it works. Can you quickly explain how BMD works and why Canada should be a part of it?
