Thank you for that.
You talked about unsettling lessons. I want to just go to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and how prepared we are as democratic nations. There are an estimated 120 different conflicts around the world at this time.
I think this includes the U.S. that, according to Reuters, did not produce NATO-standard 115-millimetre munitions from the summer 2014 to the fall 2015, the year of Russia's annexing of Crimea. It was worse prior to the invasion. The U.S. military's industrial plan involved sourcing explosives from overseas, including a factory in eastern Ukraine that is now Russian controlled.
What is necessary to provide stability for this kind of defence production in Canada? What regulations should we be looking at regarding demand production, pollution and those kinds of things?
