Today, the country made a very deliberate decision to modernize the Halifax class, and that has delivered. The modernized Halifax class is in the top tier of military capabilities on this planet. It has only 20 years, and it won't hold at that tier forever. Today, I am confident in what I've been given with the Halifax class. Today, the Victoria class submarine, and Windsor, and Chicoutimi sailing to the far Pacific, have been modernized with key elements of maritime capability. The Windsor has the Virginia class sonar suite, the most advanced sonar in the world.
Yes, I'm confident. It has the most advanced and destructive weapons system, which keeps adversaries a long way away from Canadian sovereign interests or national interests around this world.
Is it perfect? We're delivering the Cyclone a little bit behind. The Cyclone is now reaching our decks. The first deployment of a helicopter air detachment and a Cyclone helicopter occurred on Spartan Warrior just two weeks ago. They're introducing amazing capabilities, so I don't have worries there. Our special ops capabilities operating with our submarines are now at a level of maturity. I'm really happy and satisfied that these high-end strategic and strike capabilities are at the forefront of global capability.
