I think we should increase our intelligence capabilities, which have been allowed to weaken a little bit over time. I think we should have far more exercises in the north.

In the past, and Denis can correct me, but generally speaking, when NATO does exercises it involves the U.S. and Canada hauling themselves over to Europe. I think we need to have far more NATO exercises in northern Canada. We used to have more than we do now. I think it would send a powerful message if we started doing that again.
