Well, I think so, for the reason that NORAD is charged with defending North America as opposed to Canada or the U.S.
With the way threats are evolving and changing, this gives us more advance warning. It gives us an intelligence multiplier. It gives us more time to think and react.
The real beauty of NORAD is that because it has a global area of operations, it's tracking things way out in North Korea, the Philippines, or west Africa with the ebola virus. It has North America in mind, not just Florida or Vancouver.
Yes, we would need something, I think, like NORAD, with the ability of one person able to access both levels of government at the highest levels.
