Colleagues, I'm going to use my prerogative as chair for just one minute to get a question in, which I had intended to do.
Mr. Lagassé, the question is for you. There was some very interesting reporting from CBC about a month ago, overseas in Finland, talking about the way that the Finns in particular, living next door to the Russians, have integrated into everyday life a mobilization of their citizenry, whether that's mailing emergency preparedness kits or whether that's building underground infrastructure that serves as a playground but in wartime could be converted very quickly into an operations system.
Do you believe, as was referenced by our colleague a couple of minutes ago from a remark made by the deputy minister, that we're in wartime? I don't think we're in wartime, but we're not in peacetime. Does the Canadian citizenry need to start thinking differently about its role? Does the government need to start talking to citizens differently about its role in terms of the challenging world order we're moving into?
