Thank you for that.
I had a chance to chat a little bit about the Arctic with the minister earlier. When we talk about growing strategic competition in the Arctic, we've heard for years that we need to do more to ensure that we can protect our sovereignty in the north. With Russia's actions in Ukraine, anxiety over this issue is possibly higher than it has been for many decades, particularly amongst Canadians living in the northern Arctic regions.
What kinds of investments are being supported through these estimates that are furthering the CAF's ability to operate in the north? How will these estimates benefit northern communities?
