Thank you.
The infrastructure in the north, as we start to focus and put greater emphasis on the Arctic tangibly, is very important. The investments we have made, I've seen them tangibly. For example, we have a state-of-the-art refuelling station in Nanisivik that will eventually support our ships going through that area. This is not just about being able to operate there for a little bit, but about being able to sustain those operations. Part of this is the $2.5 million that's going to Natural Resources.
With the infrastructure we're putting into place, it's also important to look at how we support our rangers better and how we then look at supporting the communities better. As we talk about our sovereignty, sovereignty isn't just a word. It's about how we can sustain and support our communities in the north. We conduct a lot of exercises. What a lot of the rangers were asking for is not more rangers. They wanted more ranger instructors, and we are now addressing that issue, making sure support is also provided. One aspect of it was rifles, and we're looking at other equipment.
Another thing we will be looking for in the north may not be on the ground but in the air—remote piloting systems, which we eventually will be procuring, and also the satellites that we'll be putting up. We're making sure we have the right structure in place, not just on the ground, but the communication, the command and control structure throughout the north as well.
