Yes, please. I think some of the answers are airframes to intercept potential Russian bombers that are going to test boundaries. They're not transgressing Canadian airspace. That would be an act of war, but coming up to it, we need to be able to meet them absolutely as a demonstration of our defensive resolve. That's no question. That's something that has been well-scripted since the Cold War. I think there are cases of losses of life. The first air crash in Resolute a number of years ago is a key example. We were fortunate to have forces on the ground as part of Operation Nanook.
Is that a portending of things to come? Perhaps, but again these are not reactions to ideas of a buildup in alleged arms race capabilities in the Arctic; these are civilian responses. I think the bottom line comes down to situational awareness and maritime domain awareness in the context of Arctic waters to make sure that we're not only able to share information across departments and agencies within the federal family, recognizing that these issues sort of blur the lines between security and safety and sometimes defence, but also figure out if there are mechanisms to share information with our allies, whether they be Greenland, Denmark, or the United States. It's a difficult environment in which to gather some forms of intelligence or information. In my mind, the more we can work together to get a picture of what's happening, the better off we're going to be in terms of preparing to meet those exigencies.
