Thank you.
Well, I think NORAD is doing that, and it's prompted by the Permanent Joint Board on Defence, the NAS/NORAD, and with General Jacoby's enthusiasm to look at how NORAD is going to remain relevant: the model for future and emerging threats. These working groups—and hopefully we'll have a report in a December-January timeframe—are really looking at the horizon out until 2030.
What Jim and I were interested in, however, was the here and now. While it's important to plan for the future, there are issues such as the fact that CJOC has been up and operational for nearly two years now. How does the Canadian CANR-CJOC relationship feed into NORAD? Those are more immediate concerns that we thought perhaps we could aid with.
In terms of priorities, I think NORAD is doing their due diligence. They are thinking about this, and we're trying to fill in a few gaps. I also note that we are hoping to do a study just on maritime warning, because that's the newest mission and it's by far the least understood.
