Thank you very much, Mr. Stockton, for your presentation and your expertise in cyber-attacks and so on.
First of all, thank you very much for mentioning our sacrifices in Afghanistan. We will have a day of honour on May 9, this Friday, to honour our men and women in uniform who participated in Afghanistan.
I participated in Afghanistan. You mentioned Kandahar. I was working with the U.S. forces. Also, previously I was working in Bosnia with U.S. forces. So I'm going back a bit on the military side of the issues here.
As you know, most of the casualties that we had and also that the United States had.... The 9/11 attack was low-tech; it was an airplane full of fuel that hit the World Trade Center. With roadside bombs, even though we had the electronic bubbles around the military bases against remote detonation, two wires connected created a lot of casualties in Afghanistan. So we have also this low-tech side, normal military activity that we cannot distinguish or detach from the cyber-attacks.
I will go back to the military operations and will look mostly to the Arctic. I would like you, if you can, to define who you see today as a threat to the United States and Canada, and mostly in the Arctic. It is an interest in the Arctic. What is your opinion about this? Of course, from there we will see how we can cooperate in the Arctic and in other areas.
Also, I mentioned that the United States made a change of strategy, the pivot towards the Pacific.
