Yes, I do.
I think that one of the strongest expressions of sovereignty is being present and understanding the land, the people, the places, in the north, wherever we are. Canada is a big territory, and because CHARS is not just one facility but a network of all of the existing resources we have in the Arctic, understanding very broadly the changes that are taking place, the opportunities for economic development, and the presence in the Canadian north, will be enhanced. That alone ensures our sovereignty.
In addition, there are specific research projects supported by CHARS—enhancing underwater awareness, and things like that—that will lead in the future to possible benefits that will result in an increase in Canadian presence and awareness of the north.
