We see that now with Keystone and everything else, such as country of origin labelling.
The one thing I want to touch on is the whole threat assessment related to North American security. We heard when we met with officials from NORAD that our airspace is tested by Russian military aircraft all the time—on a consistent basis, and not just from an Arctic perspective, but on the Pacific coast, along the Atlantic coastline, and in both American and Canadian airspace. That, I think, is somewhat of concern to the committee and should be to all Canadians: the Russians have always been at the forefront of seeing how engaged we are and whether or not we are asleep at the switch.
We have a proliferation of cruise missiles now around the world; just about all the major players have them. While most countries with leading economies have shown fiscal restraint on military spending, the Russians have increased spending by 92%. They have in recent times re-opened two Arctic naval bases that were left over from the Cold War, and they have definitely increased financing to build more vessels for the Arctic.
I wonder whether this should be sending some warning signals to us that Russia has a more aggressive stance in relation to the Arctic and to overall North American security.
