We need to have NORAD take seriously its commitment to the naval side that was made back in 2006. The issue is how do we do it? How do we have the sensors? The challenge we face with NORAD now is that—given the ongoing American economic crisis that they face combined with their political inability to move forward—we are going to have to pay a lot more than the traditional 10% or so that we have paid on to NORAD. The issue for Canada when it comes to the Arctic and maritime is that we need to do it, but we need to be aware that it's going to cost us a lot more than it's ever cost before.
