I think missile defence will become increasingly important as the years go by. Over the past 10 years, we've seen this proliferation of ballistic missile capability, and not just capability, but the intent to get capability by actors like North Korea and Iran.
As Canada is facing the recapitalization of both its navy and its air force simultaneously, I do agree with Dr. Byers that in terms of priorities, which have to be set, missile defence—depending on the cost, which we do not know—will be toward the bottom end of that priority list.
