Thank you, Chair.
I'm just going to go back to the Arctic policy and the plan for how we're going to defend the Arctic. We know Russia is a headache. Russia owns, basically...or its land stretches toward the Arctic, and that's the biggest threat to our sovereignty and to the remaining partners out there. China also is showing a huge interest, not just on the development side, or the trade side or the belt and road initiative, but further, militarily speaking.
How are we going to really address that? How far is the plan going to make sure we are ready? As we speak right now, there is no plan. We don't have the policy in place. All other parties already have their arms in place and their plans in place. How are we going to deal with China on the Arctic?
