Mr. Chair, there is a lot in there.
Firstly, on the policy document itself, you talked about war footing. The characterization of the security environment as it applies to Canada has geopolitical, technological and climate change in there. I'm happy with that.
Likewise, the strategic framework's focus on foundational readiness and deterrence is absolutely necessary. I think something all Canadians need to realize is the relationship between our vital national interest of prosperity and deterrence. Deterring aggression and instability in the international order, as a trading nation, is absolutely required. Do you think we have financial problems now? If we can't collectively deter further imperialism and the like, it's going to be much more difficult.
