That's a good question.
I would answer that we have enough. However, Canada is a large maritime country that has a very large coastline.
I would say that we need to maintain the current fleet mix of 3 destroyers, 12 frigates, 4 submarines, 2 underway replenishment ships, 6 Arctic offshore patrol ships, and 12 minor coastal defence vessels. That number of ships is the right size for Canada. I would be uncomfortable going below that, because it would affect my ability to have a persistent presence and surveillance on the coasts.
Merci, madam.
