Yes. I think it's probably one of the most important questions for this committee: When should the Government of Canada begin to actually do what it needs to do in the north? I don't think it's been addressed or discussed much in the committee.
The short answer, given what my colleague said, is that if it takes much longer to build in the north and you are limited to one season, and if you want to do something, it takes 10 years and not five years, I think the time is now. However, to be fair, it's going to cost a lot of money. Therein lies the issue. Our geography has historically provided us with an element of defence. That is slowly being eroded, based on what my colleague said, and many others facets and factors.
