Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I also thank the witnesses for being here today. The discussions we are having are important.
This afternoon we are not necessarily talking about fighter jets. One of the first topics we talked about when I came to the House in 2011 was the F‑18 replacement. Eleven years later, I feel like we've made some progress, but not a lot. The process is rather long.
My question is for Mr. Quinn.
Mr. Quinn, I would like you to tell us about the situation in the Arctic, in the Canadian north.
In your assessment, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, by a much more isolated and aggressive Russia, what is the level of threat to our national security with respect to Canada's north?
