Thank you.
I'm going to ask Mr. Perry to continue in that vein, talking about the replenishment of supplies and specifically the artillery shells. We've had quite a bit of testimony at this committee about artillery shell production. We've had an announcement from the government about ordering more. We've had talk of being able to go from 3,000 a month to 5,000.
Five thousand shells a month is not as many as it sounds like. It's less than a week's worth of firing supplies for Ukrainian forces. It's not going to get Canada caught up to having the level of stockpile that we need.
Can you tell the committee how to make this happen? How do we ramp up production to what would be an acceptable war footing, given the acute need of both the Canadian Forces and our ability to support Ukraine?
