In terms of the impact of submarine procurement on the thinking of the Chinese and the Russians, I would think they would decide to see what things look like 15 years down the road and maybe adjust their behaviour at that point in time.
In the short term, China is concerned about issues other than those related to Canadian submarines. As for Russia, as you know, it is completely focused on something else, that is to say trying to occupy territory on its border. I don't think there is an impact there.
However, our allies can say that Canada does want to invest in this capability, which could enable it to join pillar 2 of the AUKUS pact. There may be a connection between the two decisions. Again, I think they will want more than just an announcement; it will be a question of waiting and seeing if investments and choices are indeed made. The current government is running out of time. What it announces today will basically depend on its successor.
