Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Lynd and Mr. Ouellette, for attending the committee today.
The Department of National Defence's October 2024 report, entitled “Evaluation of Arctic Operations”, found that there was no military threat to Canada's territorial sovereignty. However, we know that state actors, primarily Russia and China, are trying to gain a foothold in the Arctic.
China is known to use research vessels for scientific activities and espionage. How does CSIS monitor, evaluate and respond to these activities?
