This brings me to my next question, which I would like to ask you both.
Lieutenant‑General, you referred to the importance of occupying territory and having military personnel on the ground to respond to a threat. We're also hearing a great deal about Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic.
Does the assertion of Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic require a political position or an effective occupation of the area?
Do these two components go together, or should they be separate, one before the other?
