Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would just like to follow up a little bit on this notion that the domain awareness side might be enhanced by cooperation.
As I think you've mentioned, Professor Sloan, sometimes it's our friends who are the most competitive in terms of these things, and particularly when it comes to underwater submarines. When they're under water, we don't know. The Americans don't tell us that they're about to put a submarine through the Northwest Passage. Of course we have a dispute with them on that.
To what extent are you going to get cooperation on domain awareness, surveillance, etc., when it comes to these kinds of disagreements—fundamental policy disagreements that exist between Canada and the U.S., or their approach to maintaining this high-seas position? Doesn't that represent the difficult area for cooperation? How do you get around it?
