I have a question to Mr. Leblanc on the conditions, as you saw it, of the Arctic monitoring from 1995 to 2000, and your reporting on it.
I'm a former member of the RCAF radar ground, so I know the situation in the 1960s. But it was of concern by 1995, seeing how our major patrol of the Arctic was done with Ski-Doos and .303 rifles with the ranger units that they had through there and the lack of proper equipment.
Could you comment on what you feel international opinion would be on Canada's effort to patrol its own territory and monitor its sovereignty if it does not have equipment like this?
