Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Through you, with respect to the Canadian government, it opened a Canadian Armed Forces Arctic training centre in Resolute Bay, in Nunavut. The commander of the army stated that, “The Arctic Training Centre is a tangible example of the Army’s increasing presence in the North. It will provide the Canadian Army with the necessary support and resources to protect the Arctic.”
In light of Russian investments in their military bases in the Arctic, which we spoke about before, how important was this investment? Is it enough, and what more can or should be done?
