I'd like to extend the conversation around maritime security.
I come from the west coast of British Columbia, and we share waters—the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Georgia Strait. We are very interconnected. At the northern part of British Columbia, southern Alaska of course has a lot of overlap in terms of maritime activity.
One question I have is whether you see the fact that our coast guard is a non-armed service in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, whereas the American coast guard is an armed service, as being a constraint on collaboration and cooperation in maritime defence.
