Thank you very much.
I'm going to continue to talk about the Arctic exercise, but I will focus on material rather than human resources. As we know, Canada does not necessarily have a response force. Indeed, radar is relatively obsolete and we have no major military vessels such as nuclear powered icebreakers or the like to conduct patrols.
In the past, Canada has repeatedly refused to work with the United States on a missile defence system. In the current environment, I wonder whether Canada been approached by the United States to restart discussions about its participation in a missile defence system?
