Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you very much to our witnesses today. It's fascinating. I wish we had a little more time. I'm not sure where to begin.
I have a micro question, Professor. You talked about the Arctic. I've had the opportunity to go to the Arctic, to Resolute and stand in the Northwest Passage. I encourage colleagues, if you haven't had a chance to go there, to go. It gives you a whole different perspective on Canada and certainly on the challenges in the high Arctic. It's so different that it really is like another planet.
The one question I want to ask, Professor, at a macro level, is whether you agree that using the military to the degree the government is currently planning is the best way to populate that area as quickly as possible. The positive side is that you can do it quickly. There are certain strategic benefits to it. There are a whole lot of practical reasons why, if you want to do it in a hurry, that makes a lot of sense. There are those, however, who are concerned that from the get-go, we're over-militarizing a beautiful part of the planet, let alone our own country.
Do you have any thoughts?
