Mr. Huebert, I'd like to examine a comment you made earlier about the potential of a more isolationist approach that you might see come out of the U.S. government, regardless, I think, of the outcome of the election. There's perhaps a tendency to go in that direction, and you highlighted that nicely. If you look back to post-World War II, that was a time of isolationism within the U.S., yet the relationship between Canada and the U.S. actually solidified and grew during that time. I think one might argue that the motives for the U.S. being a defender, for lack of a better expression, of Canada is not so much because they see it as a goodwill opportunity, but more because they see it as an opportunity to genuinely protect themselves at the same time by having defence of the continent.
I wonder if you could expand a bit on that. I'm not saying at all that it should ever be the excuse of Canada. I agree that our military should be ramped up, to use your term. However, could you expand on the isolationist approach and the comparison that you used, in relation to what I just contributed?
