Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This morning, the Prime Minister stated that he believes that Ukraine can win, but perhaps not everyone shares his optimism.
Personally, I feel there are two other possible outcomes. The first scenario is a peace treaty, but Russia could be prosecuted for war crimes. The second scenario is not much better, as it involves Ukraine being defeated. In this context, I imagine that Canada cannot return to its original position of being a soft power.
Major General, how will this affect our military readiness in the future, particularly with respect to the Arctic? Is it a game changer?
