Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our witness.
I'm going to start off with a question and then share my time with Mr. Bevington.
I appreciate how articulate you were on the differences between the language of “use it or lose it”, or this notion that somehow it's a military equation.
I do, however, have a question about what kinds of investments we need with regard to monitoring the north. In fact, as you mentioned, climate change is an issue, ensuring that we have more capability, if you will, to support people there.
There are some discussions right now within government about our capacity with satellite and Radarsat, the next generation, Radarsat-3, and how we communicate in terms of weather. I know there are some discussions on how to coordinate and invest that.
Do you think that's a strategic interest that we should be investing in, in light of your comments about the importance of what we shouldn't invest in? Should we be investing in that and coordinating that piece of the equation?
