Professor Braun, I have only a few minutes left, so I'll ask you another question.
I'm very familiar with the competing sovereignty claims around the seabed as well. Russia has made a claim for what we deem to be our Arctic seabed. You talked about it before, even environmentally.
We need to be able to assert ourselves. If Putin decides to set up a drilling rig 200 nautical miles off our shores, we need to be able to act and to do so decisively. I understand what you're saying. Maybe you don't think it's a threat, but they're currently invading a country.
This is from a source on the ground:
Our weather is changing rapidly. As a precursor to the fall, rains and fogs are starting. At present, the most critical NORAD base in Canada does not have any hangarage, parking, C-130 air-to-air refuellers. The A310 AAR—air-to-air refueller—cannot land in Inuvik. The C-295 SAR is not operational. [There is] insufficient fuel. As of yesterday, four airports in Nunavut, one of which is Resolute Bay—a regional hub—are short of aviation fuel.
This hardly sounds like the lead NORAD base in Canada, as our Minister Anand would reassure us. I've asked her questions in the House about this before. She says it's all great in the north. Does that sound like Inuvik is ready for any kind of response in the north?
