Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Professor, for being here.
You certainly have articulated some very important points. I read with interest your paper on The Reluctant Arctic Power, particularly dealing with the United States.
In terms of capabilities, which you talk about, at the moment we can't muster more than nine out of 20 CP-140s to patrol three coastlines. We can only get seven out of 14 CH-149 Cormorant search and rescue helicopters in the air, and we don't need to talk about the CF-18s and the C-130s. So in terms of the increasing importance, particularly after the Russian security report that has been released, can you outline to us the strategy you would like to see in terms of addressing some of those military capabilities? I will then lead to the sovereignty issues and the divvying up or the dividing up of the Arctic.
