That was a correct assessment, because once Canada agreed in 2004 that information from NORAD could flow into the ballistic missile defence organization, it solved the U.S. problem, and also because, as Dr. Charron has indicated, Canada is not totally blind.
You also, I think, have to put this problem that Canada and the United States have had in the context of overall American national security policy. It's not at the top of the U.S. national security agenda. On the things that bother the United States, that threaten the United States, and that make it difficult for the United States, Canada's unease over BMD is not right up there. It's not one of them.
In the tradition of Canada-U.S. relations, accommodations are made because in many other areas of our security the United States and Canada are participating. For example, the United States Southern Command asked Canada for support with counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean, and Canada provided it.
When the United States looks out over its allies, at which allies are giving it difficulty and which allies are a problem, Canada is not one of them. This BMD issue can certainly be resolved.
