I raise this because our current interest in the Arctic stems from two issues: climate change and resource development. To deal with these issues, we are going to have to increase our maritime presence, particularly because some nations don't recognize Canada's legal claim to parts of the north. Monitoring and police action will be necessary, which raises questions about the types of capabilities we need. Some navies are not using submarines; others are. Norwegians are becoming specialists in certain submarine activities; the Danes aren't. As to freer passage because of climate change, the capabilities we need to be thinking about are not for today but for 10 years down the road.
Could you respond to that?
