I would think so. I thank you for the question.
We still don't have Predators, as I'm sure you know. My vision for the Canadian use of drones is substantially focused around that surveillance role. I think they have a lot to offer. The ones that you recall didn't have much endurance or range, and the Predator is one that does have both of those things. I think achieving that kind of capacity will be quite useful.
When it comes to arming them and selecting targets at considerable distance, I'm much more skeptical that this is something that is urgent for us or important, nor do I think that we have that sort of history.
We could have had cruise missiles which, as I said, were like armed drones, for decades. We've chosen not to, or at least we haven't chosen to do so, and I find circumstances haven't changed that much, except that they're more readily available.
In Canada, speaking about continental defence, I find the needs for armed attack drones very limited. I think our problems are much more in terms of knowing what's going on and persistent surveillance. I would say that that's my vision, if that's what you ask.
