We have Joint Task Force North, which is based in Yellowknife, and we have the Rangers program. So we do have military presence in the Arctic, but arguably, again, it's not military threats we're faced with in the Arctic, it's really safety and security issues, which are often best done by other agencies.
I was on the C-130 coming into Resolute Bay when the First Air crash happened. What is often forgotten is that the locals were there first. Even though we had Operation Nanook about to start, and we had soldiers on the ground, it was still the locals who responded most quickly. The locals and the Rangers are instrumental in guiding the military on such threats as polar bears, which have often been seen; we have to make sure we worry about them.
Whenever the military is in the Arctic, they are there with that local knowledge. We can't get around having some military presence because of this unlimited liability—it's terribly dangerous in the Arctic—and until we have the sort of infrastructure where we can have more local services, we're going to have an element of the military in the Arctic. But again, it's more for aid to the civil powers than it is to guard against some defence threat.
