I'd like to talk a little bit about the Arctic. It's a vast territory.
We've had some evidence before our committee from—I don't know whether these are your direct colleagues—the Conference of Defence Associations Institute; Mr. Petrolekas and Ferry de Kerckhove both testified that they did not think there was a military threat in the Arctic; American diplomats have also told me that they don't want to see the Arctic militarized.
Do we see the Arctic, aside from the aerospace aspect of it, as an area that we need to be concerned about from a military point of view?
We're talking about the defence of North America in general now.
