Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on National Defence, entitled “An Interim Report on the Defence of Canada in a Rapidly Changing Threat Environment”. This is the first report of the defence committee, and it certainly will not be the last report on the rapidly changing threat environment. We started the report prior to February 24 and, of course, finished it off. However, this is an ongoing thing that the committee will maintain in its mandate and be seized with. I want to comment as well that the members of the committee worked extremely hard to put this together. There was a lot of frustration about cancellations and votes, etc., to the point where it became very difficult to conduct proper committee hearings and all the work that goes into them. I just want to make that point because it is getting extremely frustrating, to the point of dysfunctionality of committees. Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.
