Yes, absolutely. It's important to keep in mind that China, Russia and some other players don't engage only in a defence context. They do so across economic realms and in engagements on a personal basis. You really require an effort on the part of the entire Government of Canada to adequately provide for our defence and security. Focusing only on our soldiers would be a mistake. It requires a much broader effort than that.
